Comment on Microsoft confirms Windows 11 is about to change massively, gets enormous backlash - Neowin
TeddE@lemmy.world 1 day agoIn FOSS world, this is only as true for the subset of developers (including both programmers and designers) that are contributing code as their job duties. Additionally that effect is only prominent in projects that are dominated by one organization. Both those things do happen, but there’s also numerous exceptions, too.
Some developers are paid to write unrelated proprietary code and the developer also contributes to open source on their free time. Some projects have so many corotate contributors that none of them can single-handedly direct the development.

Oh, sorry, I wasn’t referencing the FOSS world with my comment.
My code was specifically about designers working for companies, with management forcing them to design things in a way that they would rather not.

I mean, then you’re describing bog-standard capitalistic exploitation, and it’s not exclusive to designers.

Sure yeah, my comment originally mentioned designers and developers, but I was too tired to remember that in my follow-up comment.
It’s hard to be extremely detailed and also remember every single detail of what I was mentioning as well.
