    IBM’s vision

    Anybody can have a vision, but it’s the work that matters. I’ll be worried when they become a player.

    Software projects are dictatorships of those willing to put in the work, not meritocracies.

    Most linux distros are slight variations on the best components available. Yes, one can put in resources, do a great job and now everyone switches to the fruits of their labor. No, it does nothing to stop another player from one-upping them and taking the lead with their next best good enough. In political terms, dictatorships are incompatible with voting with one’s feet.

      Did you entirely miss the part where IBM bought Red Hat

        It was hard to miss, I was working there. It doesn’t mean that much as you’re assuming.
