I saw a lot of unhelpful gear-grinding in the late 90s and early 00s when companies •tried• to make this conversation cross-functional without knowing how: managers jittery about whatever random thing they heard about OSS in the Gartner-world chatter, engineers angry that they can’t just use the thing that fixed the problem •now•, nobody really asking the useful questions about what the ongoing maint work of adopting or not adopting some library actually looks like.
