Aki, neither closed nor open source is the problem.the only thing that can kill real developers is software patents. Otherwise as long as there is compilers and script machines, people will always code, whether open or closed source. Accusing one side of this balance simply doesnt cut it with opinions aki. Give us facts. on the other hand. How low can you go in search of recognition? If using cms equals a lame developer, instead of just developing a cms, Why not start off by developing the programming language, then the cms. Oh wait, develop the an OS first then develop the language then the cms on top? Better yet, why not start with the hardware then dev the OS then language then the cms? I mean that would surely be hardcore!! i hope i have made my point which is, it all depends on what you want to achieve and the scarce resources available to you. Dont expect seasoned devs to develop a cms when the populace has not exhausted the current available capability. a personal cms may show you are hardcore, or it may show that you simply cannot integrate other peoples better developed free tools in your work, i.e you are a lame developer. Because all developers use other developers' work On 1/7/11, erick opiyo <e.osoro.net@gmail.com> wrote:
great platforms have been built in Africa particularly in Kenya talking about Ushahidi. long live open source softwares or free or what ever u can call them they actually create more developers who customize solutions for businesses and community at large, i would prefer to concentrate on an idea than on the underlying code, because many exist that's why people who develop ideas become successful

@Christian, seems the EF-DL will hold true for many years to come unless someone or a group of developers makes a start on a core system. And I'm not talking about enterprenuers/business agents because they are just that ( like I wrote earlier nothing wrong with this ). In the meantime, many other smart vendees of these systems will make them free with features and the developer cms industry will eventually disappear. This whole problem is the creation of the free-software empire and the "evils" its brings. Slowly but surely real developers will not exist in the future except on very different platforms.
Me thots.
