It's interesting that the OP ended up on this conclusion, although it would be much much better long-term to take the necessary time to deliver good pieces.

This is probably the kind of person you don't want to cut ties with open source too often. Good software, from research to implementation takes a huge amount of resources (both people-hours and people to put in those hours), and the kind that measure 20 times before making 1 cut are some of the most important, because they are the type that should be in charge of the types of early design decisions.

For every one of these kinds of developers, it seems like there are at least 10 who measure way less and cut way more (myself included in that 10).

I do think ticki might find his way back to F/OSS with Haskell or some similarly related ML project, they can offer a good mix of ivory-tower and just enough in-the-weeds implementation to make rigid, type-safe, theoretically sound systems and abstractions...

Maybe it was just an issue of picking the right language to pursue the purity he was seeking -- one further away from the mainstream, under less pressure to "get shit done".

>>Banks don’t create demand out of thin air by providing loans.

This is exactly what MMT says (and the reason of their support for fiscal policies), but not what mainstream says.

See the mainstream justification for 'quantitative easing': improve the reserves of the commercial banks so they 'decide' to loan.
MMT have always said that this is not how it works. Banks don't loan because they have more money, because banks don't create demand. By the way, MMT have always said also that this was not the way to go but this would not generate inflation, as some critics pointed.

>>While banks can create loans "out of thin air" [..] they are limited by their reserves.

My understanding is that this is not exactly true, and here MMT proves mainstream wrong again. As you say we have to be careful with the technical details.

Banks don't look into how much reserves they have and, then, they decide what they are going to loan. The credit departments of banks loan whenever they think they can make a good business and then the bank search for the reserves.

If they can't find enough reserves in the inter-bank market, they will go to the central bank. The central bank always will cover the commercial bank needs. What the central bank can control is how expensive it's going to be to cover those needs. The money multiplier theory is also wrong.

Most of the 20s social activities are there to find mates. In our 30s an increasing number no longer need to do this, and another number don't have the time anyway due to work or family.

In our 20s we still have our school friends, and they introduce us to their friends. We study and make friends. They introduce us to their friends. There's always a few parties. I'm those parties mostly everyone is looking for a boyfriend or girlfriend. We're in the same boat. We have common aims.

In our 30s, those school friends have largely disappeared. We stop studying and stop meeting fellow students. The parties dry up: more and more of those people now have found someone and find no need to "party".

You have your workplace. But if you're a manager your friends are often brown-nosing. And if you're not, office or company politics may interfere. And those left may need to rush back to look after their kids anyway.

The best thing I've found is volunteering. You meet new people, you form new friendships, you learn new skills, you help your community, your week now probably involves at least a little more exercise.

Check any old Byte magazine, it was quite common to pay for our tools, even freeware ones.

Although those that could not afford them, usually would just pirate them.

With the rise of FOSS, a new generation came to life feeling entitled to use the work of others for free while being paid for theirs.

Thing is, pull requests and bug reports don't pay bills, neither is every kind of tool payable just with consulting, training or selling books.

Now if every other profession was like this....
We wondered the exact same thing. That's why all of our paid tiers allow it. :)

We do require a paid tier because almost all asset tracking applications are commercial, which based on our non-commercial/development-only clause for the Free tier requiring a paid plan is the logical outcome. If you have a non-profit project that does asset tracking and is under our Free limits, please let us know, and we can discuss options!
Replying to a flagged/deleted comment from "nukeop":

> From the man who brought you "The Case for Non-Binary Genders" last year. No thanks.

Link for the lazy: https://ticki.github.io/blog/the-case-for-non-binary-genders...

While this comment may not be directly "productive", I think the immediate response to it, and in general response to the topic at hand is rather instructive.

It shows a general negativity (on both sides) which is obviously detracting from the positive energy and enthusiasm associated with (and often crucial for) sustainable open-source software projects.

For all the good various diversity-initiatives has intended to do, I must admit I've yet to see any proof that these actually work and give the promised results. It's their claim and thus their responsibility to prove.

Faced with constant reminders (like this) of how they keep causing toxic debates, which again and again causes people to leave (or avoid joining), it's easy to assume that right now these well intended initiatives, executed as they are, represent a net negative.

Let's not make FOSS a matter of gender-identities and diversity, but again focus on the product, the commits, the code and the incremental improvements. Towards reaching a common goal, together.

We should all focus on the good things which are uniting instead of letting a select few try to force a divisive agenda top-down upon a audience we know will give a mixed reception.

Let's not kill something good with something well-meant, but misguided.

I myself am somewhat introverted but feel I'm fairly high on both of those points. I have a friend who is very extroverted who I would say also scores well on both of those points but the main difference between him and I, he just seems to do or say things without much thought beforehand and sometimes comes to regret it later. I've always thought impulsivity may lead to more extroverted people and inhibition to more introverted people.
Emacs.

Just ensure you're running a 256-bit color terminal emulator, and for most uses it doesn't even differ that much from the GUI version. Recently I've been doing a lot of work by SSH-ing to my desktop machine from a small netbook and using the terminal Emacs client. If you run Emacs in server mode, the transition is so smooth that at this point, I don't bother getting out of bed if I need to work on something late in the evening, I just take the netbook and SSH over.

I don't think there ever was a single person that changed their mind after reading a misguided moralistic sermon.

Common sense dictates that the topics of software development and identity politics do not overlap at all, but there are groups that try to, against overwhelming pushback, use one to gain control over the other in bizarre and puzzling ways.

Every time somebody forces a "code of conduct" on a project that was doing very well without it, lots of talented developers leave, and, I imagine, an angel cries.

> that price is vastly out of proportion from the cost of providing the software

Furthermore, only devs complain about the "proportion of providing the software". Didn't especially Indie devs here on HN take their time to learn the lessons of value-based pricing?

I do charge monthly for my app. It's 30 bucks a year for a B2C app. Expensive some might say, fair for others. But I can at least confidently tell that most users use my app every single day. And people who won't use it for more than a few months came away way cheaper than if the one-time-fee was 30-40 bucks to start with.

Oh and providing an app as a one-time-fee for $5 or some ridiculous undervalued price that is considered "acceptable" simply doesn't work in niches.

> One-time payments for software amount to a pyramid scheme where you benefit from the money of future users. That's not without its downsides either, where your userbase grows indefinitely yet doesn't pay for its own support-email rent.

This logic applies to literally any one-time purchase that includes a warranty, yet the consumer goods sector has managed it somehow. What's really happening is a deterioration of the idea of "owning[1]" software. I'm sure it's great for the publisher, but it's almost all downside for the user. I'm still using an email app that was acquired and shut down by Google in 2012 and it continues to work just fine. On PC I use WinRAR from 10 years ago with no issue. I can't imagine having to pay for all of these little apps on a subscription basis and then having to find alternatives when the creators get acquired/go bankrupt because the subscription is no longer supported.

Edit: To add to that, if the cost of the subscription is to provide me with superior support, will publishers selling me these subscriptions be removing the warranty disclaimer from their EULA? Probably not, right?

The problem is, again, thermodynamics. You are going to get entropy, i.e. conversion of useful energy into unusable energy without getting work out of that process.

This means you are going to need to pump more energy in than you produce. Which begs the question GP asked.

Put another way, perpetual motion machines are impossible. What you propose is that.

Put some nice nuclear batteries on this and you might have a chance. But net power in is greater than net power out, again due to thermodynamics. So ...
What Does an Infamous Biohacker’s Death Mean for the Future of DIY Science?
Posts like this support nabla9's point. Contrary to the straw men MMT economists like to draw in their blogs, the majority of modern macroeconomists neither disagree with the Bank of England's explanation of how commercial bank loan funds work, nor is it particularly pertinent to their theories. The money multiplier is not some foundational macroeconomic article of faith, it's a pedagogical tool to illustrate how leverage can expand the money supply beyond the monetary base to first year undergrads (which also happens to be a historically correct explanation of why the private banking sector ended up with de facto money creation privileges)

On the other hand, MMT is deeply concerned with institutional arrangements in the banking system, and still elides central banks and governments in its explanations of how the system works because doing so avoids the inconvenience of explaining that the main reason budget deficits result in long term repayment obligations for governments under current institutional arrangements is because central banks fundamentally disagree with MMTers that systematically buying up all newly emitted government debt and pushing interest rates down to permanent zero is compatible with low inflation.
