Ten years after: An Interview with MontaVista's Jim Ready (LinuxDevices)
[Posted July 27, 2009 by corbet]
LinuxDevices has an interview with MontaVista founder Jim Ready. "Developers are integrating more and more open source code from multiple sources, and all these pieces are both interdependent and independent. That's breaking all the rules of software engineering. All these components are developed independently of one another and they change all the time, and then there are always some other subsystems that were not built by the same group, so it ends up breaking. The open source process is vibrant and instrumental, but it has these bad properties in some sense."
