There are plenty of startups that don't fail. If that's the benchmark of success, you're still only talking about something on the order of 10-20% of businesses. But companies that become regionally competitive, rather than simply filling a specialist IT local niche, are target rich for M&A.
The existence of technical debt does not refute the claim that its hardly changed. Its evidence that much of the core architecture hasn't changed and flashing features have just been stacked on top in an increasingly precarious manner.
Tu quoque
Hasn't changed?
10-20% of businesses?
Dude nobody has time to refute these nonsense claims. It's not "tu quoque" if that's not the statement discrediting your claim and if youre clearly talking like someone who isn't in the industry. Software is more than what twitter says exists, and goes beyond FAANG or the fortune 500.
This is Business School 101, stuff.
Exactly, Fortune 500 companies and their stupid business garbage using software.
It's not a problem with software, it's a big tech problem. You made it clearer than i could have. Linux maintainers arent business school graduates, but they still need to be paid decades after the "software is done". It's not free
And if you mean providing random statistics and no sources is business 101, i can hardly disagree
The cost of maintaining the Linux tech stack is cheaper than maintaining the Windows tech stack primarily because Linux doesn't have this enormous administrative bloat.
It's not free, but it is significantly cheaper.
I'll show you mine when you show me yours.
