Based on the pitches I’ve seen, it’s very much the opposite. ”We are about to completely upend the X industry, with a market potential of hundreds of billions”
"We are disrupting the AI blockchain cannabis industry using state of the art AR/VR technology"
Made me laugh, as I don't know any other OS that runs on such a variety of hardware nowadays ;-)
Although I’ve read this probably a dozen times. What I think about this today, as I’m about to reviel my next project is that it’s so crazy how things evolved for open source. Nowadays people compete with companies and having an announcment like this usually includes : - website explaining as a pitch what is better about your software - ready to use examples and templates to support your claim - branding with a logo…
