@glyph asking Charlie to share specific business plans and ideas is super unfair. There’s real advantage to getting to test stuff out and iterate privately; developing a business model in the open is risky as fuck. It’s fine if you want to withhold judgement but I think right now at this early stage you’re being unfair. @charliermarsh @freakboy3742 @sgillies
@jacob @charliermarsh @freakboy3742 @sgillies later in the thread I did make it explicit that there’s no way to answer these concerns immediately. I will not feel comfortable until the business plan is proven out, that does not mean I expect that it should or even *could* be proven out immediately, and I am sorry if I implied otherwise!
@glyph @jacob @charliermarsh @freakboy3742 @sgillies I have the position that it does not matter and the PSF/core python should act as if astral turns into a burning pile of flames. (Which to be clear, I neither hope nor expects). A lot of open source software was build by failing companies and we still benefit from all the work that went into it.
