In a humorous All Things Open 2017 Lightning Talk, "Death of an Enterprise Software Salesman," Corey Quinn calls out the slick, but not substantive, methods used to market closed-source enterprise software.
In just under five minutes, the author of Amazon Web Services news roundup site Last Week in AWS tears apart closed-source enterprise software marketing by pretending to be a salesman. His mock presentation is filled with nonsensical business jargon and meaningless charts, but Corey's undertone of bitng sarcasm makes his message clear: Closed-source enterprise software is successful because of its glossy image and fearmongering sales tactics, even though open source software is superior.
