For-profit cororate tech: Goes down all the time and horifically inefficient despite having trillions to throw at R&D

    The difference is passion. Big tech has soul-crushed, overworked, 9-to-5-ers who just want to do the time in their cubicle and go home. There are some passionate people there, but they are scarce and growing scarcer. The open source project has passionate people who just want to deliver the best product they can.
