  • For real open source projects, it’s a lot of the time not nerds working for free.

    All your favorite frameworks and libraries are often developed in house at big companies (angular, react, vue, tensorflow, Kafka, pytorch, k8s, Jenkins, and many many more).

    And even then, much of the development on them is done by people who are getting paid to use the frameworks at smaller companies.

    There are tons of examples the other way too of course, but even the Linux kernel is mostly corporate commits, Google, Huawei, Oracle, and others.

    This isn’t inherently bad, but it’s not as cut and dry as people make it out to be.

    I want to add, that language development is also often done by companies. Today for example is a Mozilla thing, and while a non profit, the devs aren’t working for free.







  • Yes it’s odds that you will like the movie going in.

    Besides, aggregate scores are hard to work with.

    The best thing you can do, when dealing with critics imo, is to find a critic with similar sensibilities to you, and then figure out the things they like.

    If a critic hates car chases and you love them, it doesn’t matter what the score is, because you can see them score it low for car chases and use that information. What matters more than score with critics is consistency.








  • I think there are a lot of other factors in that case.

    The biggest reason why it’s rare to see regular cars get to a million miles is because they don’t get driven as much. At the average of 14k miles per year it would take 71 years for someone to drive 1 million miles. Since it takes so long to get there, many non engine related issues start taking hold like rust and obsoletion.
