The Bankman fried the clients.

Sam’s the Bankman.

Honestly, it’s been pretty good for me once I say “Hmm I don’t think this workflow works with this version”

I think the 4o model might just be better than 3.5 was at this.

I’m seriously considering dropping everything and jumping to Rust because of Cargo.

Well if you’re into game dev, ECS and Rust, there’s like a 99% chance you know of it, but just in case you don’t: We have bevy, now with an extra full-time dev (Alice, who’d been working hard at it for years, I think she’s a bigger contributor than the author himself at this point lol)

That’s because C++ is such a high performance language, it gets things done faster

It’s called OpenStreetMap and there are many apps for it! Organic Maps is a good one and I like it for when I go abroad and want to preload an entire country instead of downloading maps on my paltry 33 or whatever gigs of roaming allowance (that also only works in the EU - if I want to visit the US, I get to pay out the ass for 250 MB or 1 GB at a time)

Operating system so TrueNAS in your case

Eh when sales says “we made this” it means the whole company in my mind, not them stealing the credit.

Now we sales says “we’ll make this” is when you have a problem.

Did you use a Handy to write this comment?

There’s a localization module available for the US, it should handle the arcane tax code and everything, but I haven’t tried.

You get access to the source code you use. If you pay for an enterprise license, you can access the enterprise source code too, but it’s indeed a proprietary license, you can’t really sell modifications.

I do wish it was fully free & open source (because that wouldn’t affect me, I’m not on their payroll, I just work with the software), but I still prefer the current model over Dynamics 365 or SAP (though I believe Microsoft open sourced some or all of their Dynamics 365 Business Central code too? I haven’t really kept up).

If Odoo ever decides to close their open source business and only offer it with a closed source, you bet your ass there are going to be dozens of forks of the latest open source version. I’m fairly sure my own employer would do the same, our CTO is an open source evangelist. Would probably RiiR the core even.

Not sure why you think the FTC would be the best body to talk to here. Odoo is not an American company, but rather a Belgian one.

Free in FOSS stands more for what you’re allowed to do than what it costs. The devs have to support themselves somehow, the project is absolutely massive and has a bunch of dedicated developers on the payroll.

spread across multiple FOSS alternatives

And you’ve already lost hopes of gaining significant market share.

The fact that Facebook does everything is what keeps people coming back. I haven’t scrolled my feed in years, but I still make use of Marketplace and Messenger sometimes. It’s the network effect at play too.

You can try out Odoo, it’s heavily customizable so you can add in the parts you don’t find existing modules for - and customize existing modules too.

I feel like the popularity of the LAMP stack (or WAMP if you were just starting out your interest in software and hadn’t yet moved to Linux) in the 00s and early 10s is to blame here. MySQL ended up being the default choice for people who didn’t know much about databases.

Now that I know more than I did at the age of 14 when I first started learning programming… I’ll be honest, I’m still likely to choose MySQL just because it’s familiar. But at least I know what indices are now, and I try to avoid dependent subqueries :)

To be fair, I feel like I should use Postgresql more, I just haven’t actually ever worked on anything that needed the cool data types it has extensions for.

Did you inherit the same project I did?

Did they also not use feature branches, API documentation, or any frontend framework, opting to create one based on jQuery instead?

Got it, sharing the password to my obscure furry midget porn collection with my people

True, that’s fair.

It’s more of a pain to get running than you might think for an official image. I got it running but definitely had issues getting started.

I’d expect the work servers to be better because I can’t afford to spend thousands per server, but maybe I’m just spoiled with regards to work hardware.

But they are slow. At least when you’re doing a lot of things at once on your machine (I run ~20 “microservices” for my local dev environment because it’s a goddamn distributed monolith, most of them are JVM). IntelliJ often grinds down to a halt. Other software on my laptop runs fine. Firefox doesn’t get slow at all.
