Home renovation project in the UK: requires type A personality, careful planning and coordination between different builders/specialists. You need to align and allow for builders doing multiple projects at once. Also they leave early after the first few days unless you watch them. Timeline is a few weeks.
Renovation project in Romania: type B personalities are fine - call everyone on the day or for next day. Get everything done in 2-3 days. I’m speechless at how quickly things move. 😮
As much as I love the Ruby community, you can't be outraged if you take corporate money.
You're either open-source and self-sustained, or you accept that the companies supporting you will also have demands such as security compliance and clear ownership.
You can't have your cake and eat it too.
