Open source software is such an important part of how the whole world is run, and it takes a community to build it. In fact, so much has been built up to this point, that everything new that’s created is standing on the shoulders of the giants that have solved problems in the past, problems that we don’t even have to think about much today. So what are the problems that we do need to investigate today and how shall we best address them? Yitzchak Lieblich from Web Solutions NYC shares how they do it. Listen in to this final episode of Season 9 of Step by Step!
Like a Light Bulb
- “Know what you know. Know what you don't know.” - Yitzchak
- Finding the right platform solutions may cost more upfront, but will cost less in the long run as you work with what you actually need and build from there
- Happy developers lead to happy code which leads to happy merchants
- “Open source, at its core, has been about sort of unselfishly sharing learnings and findings and asking others to potentially join you in helping to build.” - Phillip
- Merchants also love open source options because of the control it offers them
- There was the Magento wave, the Shopify wave, and a next wave will come as well
- Some merchants will continue to use SaaS, but it’s important to base that decision on an honest look at the maturity of your business and the needs you have moving forward
