For these open source experts, it's all about standards. For Meta, it's all about the money.

    Kinda funny how when mega corps can benefit from the millions upon millions of developer hours that they’re not paying for they’re all for open source. But when the mega corps have to ante up (with massive hardware purchases out of reach of any of said developers) they’re suddenly less excited about sharing their work.

      I’ve been begging my company to commit to 1% of our revenue toward open source software we use.

      It would be life changing for many of these devs.

        I’m begging for far less, like 0.001%.

        Very much unsuccessful so far.
