FreeCAD suffers from the same issues that much open-source software suffers from: it has bugs. Bugs erode user confidence.

Apparently, there are now > 500 bugs open.

When commercial software has bugs, you don't even know they exist often. Sure, but there are also ways to make bug free software, but hardly any open-source software exists that uses those development techniques.

People are getting dumber by the hour. It's sustainable.

When I design computing systems, I am like "what's the point?", if there is nobody with a brain around to maintain it. The cloud allows companies to have services they could never ever maintain themselves long after I am dead.

We are going full Idiocracy from what I can tell.

You sound way too optimistic, but I am guessing you are still young.

> They are structured and run like a tech company but imo they don’t produce a tech product.

This kind of comment could kill their stock :P

Uber said they were going to produce self-driving cars, so technically they are a failed tech company, which is now just a company. I am surprised they didn't get crushed by a competitor that didn't waste their capital on worthless stuff. So much for capitalism working. Uber should have gone bankrupt.

There is just no way that their database is actually technologically novel. Uber just doesn't have the expertise.

Only Uber can present cross-compilation as if that hasn't been done for decades. I think the newer generation is just more stupid. Must be the plastic in the water supply.

Are you not concerned the foundation will ever work against your interests?

If this thing really worked, why wouldn't you just point it at AWS documentation and ask it to implement the exact same APIs and come up with designs for the datacenters in extreme detail? Implementing APIs is completely legal.
