      I think that’s because the software comes from a similar place. You have to fight for your freedom and it takes effort, and the people that put that effort in like to feel good about it by sharing (or showing off). It’s like gym-goers who like to show their hard-earned progress.

      And then there’s the fundamental differences in core philosophy, where a lot of friction between open and closed source projects comes in. It’s warranted, but I get why it’s annoying.

    AWS and Azure are services, not libraries; Elasticsearch is mostly open source; and DynamoDB, well, how many people use it again?

      A lot of people seem really confused by this, based on the number of downvotes.

          They also keep thinking I’m talking about the services they provide, and not, you know the actual fucking servers those services run on. Surprise, the servers themselves also need an operating system and the “server” you create is a Virtual Machine that lives on their actual, physical server and its OS.

          Every day I learn more about how people don’t actually understand how the internet works.
