Do organizations ever just want to do a good job? Not really. Also, after looking through a new developer survey: Developers change what they use, but pretty much stay the same. Also, half of the, still don\u2019t use build pipelines or issue trackers. When will these kids learn? And Cot\xe9 explains why Nietzsche\u2019s Eternal Return thing seems unhelpful.

  • Only half use CI/CD? Been like that in surveys for many years, since 2012 or so.
  \n
  • Also, only 44% use an issue tracker? Weird.
  \n
  • Testing is pretty good with 70% doing unit testing.

  \n
  • I guess it\u2019s some fanfic on OSS companies being good at running managed middleware services?
  \n
  • Not too far fetched of an idea: they just need good SREs and the ability to reliably and cheaply run on public clouds.
  \n
  • Kind of like selling against generics in grocery stores.

\n
• Mission critical apps make successful open source platforms\n\n
  \n
  • Really good write-up of the sales life-cycle for any type of infrasture software.
  \n
  • Good attention to the whole life of a customer and paying attention total revenue across their \u201clife,\u201d e.g.:\u201cA customer might spend 6 months scaling their deployment on their own. But if we could help them do that in 3 months, then we probably just pulled in our next sale by one quarter. \u201c
  \n
  • What are the \u201caverage\u201d prices for thing here? Analogously, you can bucket the pricing for all condemnts (with truffle oil being an outlier) in the $1 to $15 range. But not, like, $100. There must be some basic clusters of OSS pricing. (Expensive stuff is hard to sell in this funnel.)
  \n
  • I suppose looking at avg. annual revenue per customer for all these OSS companies would get you there.

  • Follow-up on Hortonworks acquisition, road-map confusion: \u2018Cloudera was also dogged by other factors that resulted in a slowing of bookings in the quarter by existing customers, which represent more than 90 percent of the company\u2019s usual growth, Reilly said during a conference call with Wall Street analysts yesterday. The merger with Hortonworks \u201ccreated uncertainty, particularly regarding the combined company roadmap, which we rolled out in March of this year,\u201d he said. \u201cDuring this period of uncertainty, we saw increased competition from the public cloud vendors.\u201d\u2019
