Never cheese off the customer
hi all,
just came across this on an open source (free software) site
================================================== ======
And it's really free?!
Yes. Once upon a time I had to deal with a company who sell flash charting components, their component had a bug that I needed fixing, so I emailed them about it asking when it'd be fixed.
(Remember that I had paid real money for this software.)
They were so incompetent, rude and obnoxious that after three or four weeks of emails I thought to myself "I could learn Flash and Actionscript and write my own charting component, release it as Open Source, host it on sourceforge and build up a community of helpful coders faster than they can fix a single bug."
And that is what I did.
And that is why it is free.
I guess the moral of the lesson is: don't p#$$ off your customers.
