<p>I was listening to a podcast today, and the question was mentioned - "What if there was no open-source software?".</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>As a self-taught Developer who has worked with open-source technologies and become an expert in Drupal - an open-source content management system - this would have had a big effect.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>If there were no open-source frameworks or CMSes like Drupal, Symfony, Laravel or Vue.js, Developers would need to write everything from scratch, and companies would need to pay for the extra time.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>There would be no reusable knowledge as Developers move to different companies as everything would be written in-house.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>There would be no communities and events like conferences and meetups for open-source technologies.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>As well as frameworks, what about languages like PHP that are open-sourced? Would companies also need to write and maintain their own programming languages?</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>What about Linux, which I use every day for my desktop environment and servers, and other tools like Neovim, PHPStan, PHPUnit and Pest that are all open-source?</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Even as someone who contributes to and sponsors open-source projects and their Developers, it's still a shock to think how things would work without open-source software.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>If you use open-source software, please consider sponsoring, supporting or contributing to the projects you use and depend on.</p>
