Totally the other way around IMO. Have you seen App Store reviews? 😂
Yeah, not even slightly true. Know a few people who work support for a major piece of financials software. Company has a written procedure for dealing with death threats that gets exercised multiple times per year
The level of entitlement is the same, but the main difference is that companies have buffer layers standing in between the people doing the work, and the people receiving the complaints. Programmers there are shielded from receiving hundreds of thousands of complaints directly from users. Those buffer layers don’t exist in open source.
To be fair, open-source developers get death threats too unfortunately.
I think the conclusion is that as a population of people grows the average behaviour stays pretty much fine, but the extremes of the bell curve become more apparent
There will always be people in both cases thinking they are entitled to the work of others. There will be nice people who do nice by others too, rarely but that happens. We live in a wonderful world and not being an a…hole about things makes it better.
True story.
If you ignore the kid, it’s a story about a guy who’s really impressed with his lamp, notices the ikea logo, and then dies a little inside.
Crackpot stuff.
