If you care about open source, open data, or open standards, you should read “What we in the open world are messing up in trying to compete with big tech“.
I found it a good critique on Open Source and why “technology” and an OpenSource Licence may not be enough to compete with BigTech players. The author doesn’t argue against OpenSource but he points some quite valid points.
You might say “look at your own GitHub repo first” but wait: The difference in my view is: Do you open-source something just to make it available for others as well or do you make an OpenSource project to compete with a commercial product / to position yourself as a valid alternative …
Anyways, give it a read – and maybe follow his Blog as well!
