You made the distinction between open source software and for-profit software. Can we dive into the differences between those? The sense I got when you were describing it is that there are different motivations behind them. Is that a fair take? And so how does that work? Well, I want to make sure we're nuanced here because it's not a binary thing, like open source good profit bad. It's a continuum.
Scott Jenson has done strategic UX design work for some of tech’s most important companies, including Apple and Google. Now he’s semi-retired and focused on improving the experience of using open source software. In this conversation, we talk about what’s different about open source, how design can make it better, and how designers can benefit from participating in open source projects.
