Föderation EN So 18.05.2025 16:00:10 Some hard truths for open source adoption from @bert_hubert His #1 is also my #1: "Whatever you’re building, you have NO margin to get away with being uglier/harder/more difficult than big tech" and "If you don’t have people who deeply care about user-experience in your team, you’re doomed" Open source has so many adoption barriers that only people who care a LOT will get over them. But honestly, most people don't have enough care to spare right now. Worth a read. https://berthub.eu/articles/posts/what-the-open-world-must-do-better/ |

Föderation EN So 18.05.2025 16:41:16 @elizayer there's always someone complaining, and I wouldn't be surprised if those complains are amplified by corpotech @bert_hubert |
Föderation EN So 18.05.2025 16:57:35 @elizayer @bert_hubert The simple truth is it's unlikely anyone is creating barriers of entry for all the UX people. Seems to be the case for whatever reason that UX people are not interested in working on these projects - either they think the projects aren't good enough to contribute, they don't like the other programmers or most likely just don't have the time. I should be contributing something to some project but do not. I prioritize getting my life in order, having means to live. |
