Copilot was trained on FOSS software, so maybe it’s already too late.

pdfdrive Thanks for the suggestion, is it any better than z-library or do they host the same content ?

I always thought about why don’t FOSS projects that are at risk of getting sued by big corp like (NewPipe, Popcorn Time, streamio, tachiyomi …) embrace the dark web or git over torrent via VPN, so their projects don’t get threatened with take downs. z-library ended having to move to the dark web after all.

I am not criticizing the free work of the open source community. it is just a recognition that commercial software is way ahead of anything the FOSS community has produced so far. And this is true for almost all software categories

If you are doing professional work. than Gimp doesn’t come close to Photoshop, when they will introduce non-destructive editing Gimp will definitely become better. but PS keeps widening the gap with very powerful tools like AI fill an stuff.

If you’re not that familiar with the language, it’s likely you won’t be contributing to the project.

You can still borrow and implement features developed by project x into project y , but I do understand the time limitation.

because I am more of a visual learner I wondered whether developers don’t use diagrams and flow charts, or just don’t include them in the docs.

Exactly what I was referring to. its the type of flow charts you find included in some whitepapers as well.

No, I haven’t started my project yet. I was looking for docs with descriptions and diagrams about server-client chat algorithms. And I haven’t found any, that’s why I am asking!
