Comment on Bullying in Open Source Software Is a Massive Security Vulnerability

  I mean, they didn’t though Theoretically, well-funded teams would be able to create more secure software and fix vulnerabilities faster than some random guy who works a full-time job and codes in his free time

    You say they didn’t, and then go on to make a point they didn’t make…

    They didn’t comment on funding whatsoever. Plenty of open-source software gets funding. Nothing to do with being closed or open source.

      I’m sorry that I’m apparently not getting my point across to you

      Proprietary software is often made by a corporation, who pays full-time developers. Those full-time developers are given a salary to work on that software. That salary is normally more than what open-source devs make off their software. The team who is paid to work full-time on the software will patch issues faster (theoretically)

      I bet you’ll find something wrong with this, but I don’t care

        There’s nothing wrong with what you’re saying, I’m not challenging the point you’re making here.

        I’m challenging your ability to mind-read and ascribe that point to a different commenter.
