The “what do we even pay you for?” is just like with projects:
“why isn’t this finished yet?”
We have to add tests and make sure we’ve tried to cover our bases.
“that’s not necessary, if it works now, just release it”
That’s not-
“I don’t care, I pay the bills”
Sure thing boss.
*a few weeks later*
“This thing doesn’t work”
Yeah, it’s what we wanted to test.
“Well why didn’t you?”
😐
What’s up with Owncloud? Why did devs leave for Nextcloud? And what happened to prevent that from happening again?
I too dislike that Nextcloud is in PHP, but if Owncloud went closed-source, then opened it up again (not saying that’s the story here), who’s to say it won’t happen again? Putting my eggs in that basket might seem quite dangerous as I don’t want my server to suddenly stop working and sit behind a paywall or something because management decided they want to make a quick euro.
