![]() ![]() ![]() And partially documented.ĭuring this period, I was suppose to work with another 2 other coders "my team". And I had to sit my boss for a solid 3hrs plus some occasional questions as I was developing to get a clear idea of whats going on. Ensure that transmission of the data is clean and valid. Add a webgui and setup multiple databses for data exports from the app. As well as fix the billion of issues with data storage in the software. I was then handed over this software (which was vanilajs with angular) and was told to "clean it up" introduce a typing system, introduce a build system, add webpack for better module and dependency management, learn cordova (because its essential and I had no idea of how it works). This software was very fragile as its intention was to demo specific features we want to adopt for a version 2 of it. My boss wrote a piece of major software with another coder (over the course of month and a balf). The reason, and this is a direct quote "Ari left the code riddled with bugs prior to leaving". What’s certainly up for discussion is how much the companies are charging per year/month.Just came back from vacation to find out that pretty much all the work I put at place has been either destroyed by "temporary fixes" or wiped clean in favour of buggy older versions. I mean I don’t know what a developer at Maxon or elsewhere makes, but it certainly won’t be chump change. And these people need to get paid as well. But paying a sum of X bucks for a feature set Y at a given time and then to expect to get all future features for free is a little bit brazen, don’t you think? After all there’s a lot of people working hard. A single payment is okay, if you buy a product that’s done. But seriously - Nomad is a tool, where I would not mind a subscription model just to support the author.Īnd generally speaking - while I as a customer of course appreciate one time payments, you have to keep in mind, that programs nowadays are evolving over time. I don’t know if Nomad is just a side project for him, while he’s working a regular day job. Since then Nomad got a plethora of new features. Yet, I’ve paid my initial 15 bucks and that’s about it. ![]() He’s constantly working hard to improve this already outstanding software. I totally understand, what you are saying - then again, when it comes to Nomad for some time now I feel, like I’m ripping off Stéphane. ![]() Stephane ( and the Blender Foundation ) will always have my support and loyalty, and I gladly pay for major version updates! All the hiccups they have or don’t, I’d rather live with those than becoming a slave of those companies and throwing my hard earned money into a dozen of subs- which btw, I don’t understand how people can keep track of all their subscriptions expenses ( not limited to software) Adobe, Maxon, and Autodesks big shots live in a nice big villa and drive fancy cars, eat the best food.īut it’s not just those companies I criticize, it’s actually the folks who let themselves be controlled by them! Cause I am telling you, Blender, Nomad, Krita - and you can create astonishing work. Where has Photoshop been improved in the last years? Or 3Dsmax? Surly. Their favorite reasoning ( excuse) - „ we want to improve the software for you, and this costs money „ is just as shady as the model itself. I really hate to see many companies jumping on the subscription model. I use my old Zbrush version as long as I can and if for some reason Maxon pulls off some strategic stunts for the sole purpose to make more money than they already have, then I gladly switch to Nomad entirely. I showed Autodesk the cold shoulder a decade ago, and switched to blender and will never look back. Fair!Īdobe? Excuse my French -F…U to all this corporate money sharks. Before Adobe, I could use the version I subscribed to even after I cancelled. Adobe doesn’t allow me to use substance painter anymore unless I subscribe. I will never support subscription based software, at least not in a way where I end up paying 4 times more than the initial one-time-purchase price. I despise big companies who snatch software initially made by people with heart and vision, just so they can milk more and more money. ![]()
