"It saddens me greatly to announce that, effective today, any of my Amiga-related software development has been mothballed indefinitely. This means that, pending any unexpected developments, there won't be any "Amithlon v2" (aka "Berniethlon"), nor any further support or add ons for "Amithlon v1" by me."

"Berniethlon" - The End : Comment 214 of 221 | ANN.lu |
Posted by freud on 03-Dec-2002 10:23 GMT | In reply to Comment 213 (Peter Gordon): "Surely that is the motivation behind the developers of ALL the so-called "Amiga successor" operating
systems like AROS, MorphOS and AmigaOS? Hmm?"
You make one mistake here. Amigaos is started by a company(companies), in that
case if a company makes coders slave for little to no pay(no matter if it is their
passion or not, or if said company has little funding), it is UNETHICAL to
say the least, to do that.
Programming is a worthy job and os programming even more so and should be rewarded
accordingly. There is in my eyes no excuse for not paying your developers(or paying little).
Besides the whole os4 issue being a viable thing or not, you got to wonder about the quality
of the end product, when developers have little to be motivated by, but a false
sense of hope and passion. Passion doesn`t buy you bread. And I hope they won`t
end up having a bad after taste of that(its not the first time stuff like that happens
in this market).
If a COMPANY asks you to do something you ask something in return, which
reflects what you did PROPERLY. You don`t do something for a company out of
charity, passion, or whatever else (false) feeling, without proper compensation.
In the real world a company actually will take you more seriously if you charge
a healthy fee, it`s that simple. You can leave the free stuff for charity,
gpl and all that(but ofcourse make sure no one leeches off of that). |
