Will programmer an uniteresting option in the future due to open source softwares
January 3, 2009Just read a nice quote here…
A developer is concerned: “Over time we’ve seen our business model eroding as other open source projects produce free versions of the same extensions and utilities that are our bread and butter. Something that was worth $5K last year is suddenly worth $0 because the free version is just as good as the paid.”
I dont know, but at least for my self, programming is a hobby, not merely a way to earn the money. Is this a phenomena that hobby will defeat capitalism????
I don’t know, but it seems like bill gate’s open letter to hobbies is true….
