The open source paradox

I’ve had similar experiences but haven’t drawn the same conclusion. I haven’t given up on being able to change the norm where a lot of open source users act like they have an enterprise support plan while actually contributing nothing.

Funny thing: I had my email on a commercial support page for, you know, companies that wanted to pay money for custom work. 100% of the emails were from companies asking various questions; everybody took that page as priority free support for companies. I just removed my email in the end.

That’s a really common behavior. I’ve had people open issues stating that something is a production blocker but of course they can’t contribute time to fix it.
