Our goal as a society should not be to create a generation of pre-teen coders. Dear Author, not in this neck of the woods

Dear Google,
When you can replace your servers and software with ProjectBlox, then you'll know you have achieved something actually interesting.

I don't remember whose quote is, but I like it:

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Someone needs to do something about updates.
Remember when they were fun? Like Windows 3.1 to Windows 95.
Now that was fun.
Now...it's just noise...noise...noise.
And remember when an update helped?
Now, it's like "oh, uh Windows 10 just updated. My computer is a brick."

Issue # 6:
A regression in the MFC CMFCToolBarButton button prevents MFC apps from correctly working in Visual Studio 2015 Update 3.
OK, I'm sold. Let's install it!

Quote: Issue 5
After you install Windows updates, you may see various package load failures when you start Visual Studio. Although this update fixes this issue, you can also delete the ComponentModelCache folder as a workaround.
That issue cost me 3 full days because I did VS2015 upgrade and Parallels upgrade so didn't know which one had caused the problem.

Yes, this is an update to an update.
Just because the code works, it doesn't mean that it is good code.

Brings to mind Yogi Berra's quote: "it's like deja vu all over again."
«There is a spectrum, from "clearly desirable behaviour," to "possibly dodgy behavior that still makes some sense," to "clearly undesirable behavior." We try to make the latter into warnings or, better, errors. But stuff that is in the middle category you don’t want to restrict unless there is a clear way to work around it.» Eric Lippert, May 14, 2008

I'm not sure what he's saying there.
Open source is dead because proprietary solutions built by a group of focused developers with a definite business goal in mind that got them through the tough un-fun times beat open source software developed by a disparate group with no fixed business goal and minimal chance of reward?
If so then...yes.
cheers

The moment that Open Source becomes primarily about “my time” is the moment that Open Source is no longer a movement.
There's a lot of truth to that statement. The idea of OS (or any pro bono work) is, philosophically speaking, primarily about giving, whether as a creator of an OS project or a contributor. Certainly I also take from the OS community, and have on occasion made monetary donations. I also take in terms of learning new things, and receiving any (useful) contributions people make to my OS projects.
However, the primary motivation is still giving, and there in, the concept of "my time" betrays a certain mindset. Yes, we all have responsibilities at work, home, our families, and to ourselves personally, but what matters is how we choose to prioritize those responsibilities.

I don't think it was ever alive. There are a few, unbelievably well done open source projects and then all the rest, a few of which are adequate, but most awful.
Open source projects tend to stagnate. For a small, single purpose library, this is a Very Good Thing. For projects like Linux or Boost, it's annoying if not simply pathetic. A big reason, if not the reason, is that polishing a project is very time expensive and therefore cash expensive. Without an income source, nobody can afford to do the job and what company wants to pay for this only to have to give it all away?
