“Open source is way more fun”

Eclipse, Java, Random thoughts Add comments

In a recent interview the principal architect of SWT, Steve Northover, had the following to say

As a developer who has worked on both closed and open source projects all I can tell you is that open source is way more fun. For example, when you fix a bug, you really make someone happy. The feedback is instantaneous. There’s also a great feeling about working in the open. However, these are just my opinions. Personally, I like open source but I don’t presume to tell other people what to do or speculate on corporate strategy.

I couldn’t agree more.

Couldn't find your convert utility. Check that you have ImageMagick installed.
