MINI SHOW NOTES (complete notes coming soon to SwiftOtter.com!)
Why are there two distinct camps regarding product repositories? The real question is: are they making life simpler or is there a better way?
Exploring if the issue is really with product repository, or if it should be handled on a case-by-case basis.
A good developer isn't defined by their ability to memorize and replicate the same processes over and over, but rather their ability to be flexible, explore options and activate their creativity when a time-tested process they've conquered suddenly breaks down.
To quote the great Ben Marks from his Twitter page, “Remember, all software is garbage, and we are merely sanitation engineers”.
What if the community embraced open source and came up with a viable solution to this product repository/collection debate? After all, what is Hyva about and why is everyone excited about it? It's all about throwing out the parts of Magento (Adobe Commerce) that aren't working well and creating a solution from the outside.
Paraphrasing Joseph’s statement at about 26:00, it’s time to go from the complaining stage to the critique stage and to take action instead of throwing rocks.
