You are overlooking my main point, which that while it is unusably slow now, what I’m doing wasn’t possible little more than a month or two ago.

The speed of improvement is rapid. Whether or not the COTS world eventually embraces a corporate backed version(s) or open source is somewhat besides the point when considering the impact that open source is already having.

Put aside thoughts of financing or startups or VC or moats or any of that and simply look at that rate of advancement that has occurred once countless curious tinkerers and experts and all sorts of people are working towards.

That is what amazes me. I’m torn about the risk/reward aspect of things but I think the genie is out of the bottle on that, so I’m left watching the hurricane blow through, and it’s off the cat-5 scale.
