That is more down to poor marketing. Here on Lemmy or reddit there are big open source communities where you can extol the values of it.

I never went with a software project from random scrolling. It has no value to me if it doesn’t meet a need I have right now.
No contributor is going to be good that doesn’t use it.
Why would it be? Software is good based on it’s use and recommendations from real folk, not *s. Many project not on github
I mean it isn’t. Progressivism only seems to exist as a word in America, because the USA has the red scares, and conflates communism and socialism, and so are scared of the phrase and had to reinvent their own.
In Europe, you have Conservatives (right wing market, socially conservative), Liberals (free market, but with positivity towards social reforms). Socialism or Democratic Socialism (positive social reforms, state involvement, but with democracy). Communism (economic distribution but more autocratic), and Social Democratic (somewhere between Liberal and Democratic Socialist). Socialism is where you’re willing to consider the state getting involved in wealth redistribution.
It’s better you understand political philosophy and how it is used and applies around the world to truly understand it. You cannot understand the spectrum, if you cannot zoom out from the Overton window.
I wouldn’t recommend staying with a company for 17 years. That’s for sure. Best way to get stuck in a company specific niche skill that is not transferable. For the reasons stated you got to keep yourself positioned well skills wise and relevant so you can jump into any role you need at any time.
Integrity is not for the company. It’s doing things the way you think they should be done and earn your own respect.
I would say all companies don’t replace with cheaper. Many do. Especially the shitty ones. It’s quite easy to avoid those like the plague. Many did, and learnt the hard way, many have staff that have seen failed outsourcing and are in a position to influence that.
Soloing knowledge doesn’t keep you safe though as the penny pinching companies will remove anyway and clean up later regardless. It does not keep you safe. It’s a false sense of security. Complacency is a death sentence in software development.
Professional integrity. Have you ever worked for a company that got screwed by a consultancy? Vendor lock in and charging scandalous amounts for little offer.
You are paid for your skills and your time. If you’re confident in your ability and impact, you shouldn’t have to be worried.
I’m not saying sacrifice for yourself for your company, and if they are a shitty company that would replace you with cheaper, get out, but also, giving nothing for the pay you get is a bit dishonest, and then you are no better than them.
Plus, you make the case that hiring people is bad and paying a consultancy is less risky.
Of course Jared didn’t document anything and made themselves a bus factor. Real success is when Jared makes themself replaceable because hiding detail and making yourself critical is the best way to take a site down when you’re on holiday and prevent other team members stepping in and taking ownership.
Blender or GIMP? Idk.
Garbage in, garbage out. Keep feeding it shit data, expect shit answers.
First one is about Germany, not UK. Secondly, you do realise wikipedia is unreliable, prone to edit wars and subject to those that have the most passion for a topic (like free speech “absolutists”/racists). It’s why academia tell you its a poor reference and to not bother.
Can you find a UK example that you think overstepped the line?
I’m in the UK, critical of Israel and not been arrested yet…
It’s always interesting seeing distrorted American views of the UK.
No you cannot. Assuming you’re not from the UK.
Stirring up racial hatred and geeing people up to burn down hotels holding refugees is not free speech.
Fair point. I thought you were implying the opposite.
I read it as implying Labour is anti-free speech for clamping down on racist hate speech and mob mentality.
Can you explain this point?
Are you a recruited? JavaScript is not Java.
Really ain’t writing code in termux. I want an IDE. Why use a substandard device?
Programming? Nah. It’s a consumption device, not a creation device.
Length of time never means quality of decisions. Always best to validate. So easy to package up malware and farm folks bank accounts.
What?
Was that just an embarrassed verbal vomit?
You were wrong, and rather than admitting, or leaving it, you continue trying to spew words in the hope that you confuse and distract people from realising you were wrong. Are you that insecure?
What you are referring to is heuristics. It’s simplistic. Effective for wild animals that require processing of complex information quickly to escape predators for example, but not so much for civilised humans that require a greater deal of accuracy.
You demonstrated the ineffectiveness of the approach by assuming I’m a Democrat or even American.
The skill is in understanding the process, the flaw and developing a capability for critical thought. You’ll get there eventually, hopefully.
Yes. You corrected a dyslexic. Well done.
