Listen "Levels of Independence in Software"
Episode Synopsis
Independence is the reason we have so many variations of all kinds of stuff. To fight the way the Western Game is played – there is a need to have – legal, physical, software, financial, intellectual even mental independence of the tools and activities – technology, software product, framework, book, song, dance and whatever. The things that need independence are – programming languages (remember the fight between Oracle and Google over Java in Android), Internet Browser Independence (that creates support hell for developers), Separate implementations of Specifications and Standards, Application Software (so the Big Companies could lock the businesses to their Platforms), Lock-down of the features to their hardware (Apple), Server Hardware and Software an so on.
