I keep having to explain to people that building powerful developer tooling (from programming languages to ide plugins) is mainly hampered by the broken economics of the field.
So I wrote down a summary of these economics from my pov, hoping it helps inform the discussion and spurn some actions. Let me know how wrong I am ;)
This is not exactly about #opensource, but it is adjacent to it.
