Gregory's Server@neauoire I wonder if it's because software doesn't have easily readable "DIY" signifiers. Like if I see a.....house made out of.....tires... it intuitively reads like a personal vision. I don't think "This person thinks all houses should be made out of tires."

 @neauoire Yeah that makes sense. I think people see things as products unless you explicitly frame it otherwise, like: https://archive.org/details/How.To.Build.Your.Own.Living.Structures.1974.Ken.Isaacs |
@calutron Could be, a lot of the DIY software culture relies on a monoculture of frameworks, so it makes for software that very much looks and fells like commercial equivalents.
But it feels like that's by design, it's like a lot of things, keeping people scared and ignorant benefits markets.
It's like that for a lot of things these days, don't learn plumbing, you're going to kill yourself and flood your house and your won't be insured! Software's the same.
