问HN:在现实生活中,我们为一切付费,为什么软件就不可以呢?

似乎我和许多人都养成了一个坏习惯,那就是把软件免费赠送出去。而在现实生活中,我们对任何有价值的东西都是收费的。我今天遇到了一位木匠,你无法想象他会把手工制作的家具免费赠送出去。这是他的职业。那么,为什么在软件领域我们却会免费提供这么多东西呢?比如开源软件和一些托管服务? 我写了很多开源软件,但现在我觉得我需要真正利用我的技能去销售一些东西,去销售我所构建的产品。有没有人有这样的感觉?

It seems like I and many others have develop a bad habit of giving software away for free. Whereas in the real world we charge for anything of value. I met a carpenter today. You could not imagine giving away hand crafted furniture for free. It&#x27;s his trade. So why is it in software we give so much away for free? Like open source and even hosted services?<p>I have written a lot of open source but feel like now I need to really use my skill to sell something, to sell the things I build. Does anyone get that feeling?
