    I’ma go on a limb and speculate: entire damn programming industry has decided that, rather than listen to their customers and sell complete products, they would rather provide inferior Shit as a Service because it brings in more revenues.

      that’s easy to say, but it’s not programmers; it’s the board of directors, executives, etc who put profit over all.

        Dude, if every coder had the same opinion this would be a straight line. You start paying the techbros in stock and they start putting profit over everything else too.

          I dont think that follows, people can have different needs for different products even if they think in the same way (but i agree with your overall point)

          Programmers don’t agree on distros, therefore they are the ones making the business decisions? I don’t follow
