That's the market that really made Qt. Nokia sure as Hell didn't. The
market was pursued.
If a medical device manufacturer makes a technology decision and choses Qt based on
the policies of Qt "the Open Source” Project, then I’ll trust that they know
what they are doing. And if they are not happy with how Qt “the Open Source” Project
operates, then I’m sure they’ll check what The Qt Company can provide as a
commercial service that fits their needs.
Perhaps that happens frequently already. That would explain the recent
development of the Qt Company stock price...
What I'm seeing as a traveling consultant dealing with many medical
device manufacturers is wholesale abandonment.
As everybody has learned during the Trump years, stock prices have no
correlation with reality as long as the government is handing near zero
dollar interest money to the brokerage firms and banks. Right now it is
the world's largest Pump & Dump market.
You forget that I did two tours of duty writing trading floor systems
for a major stock exchange.

PS: Roland, I was looking at your
https://www.theminimumyouneedtoknow.com/agile_book.html page, and judging by
this sentence, I think your review process is broken. You should probably ask
for your money back from your professional editors, or something… :P
"The author of this title has spent over 30 years in IT working on multi-country
corporate applications before there was an Interent, to stock exchange trading floor
systems, desktop applications, and even multiple medical devices."
The book was professionally edited. I put the page together with far
less thought than I put into a post on here. You think it is a run-on
sentence, so what? The book still sells and I've done very little
marketing. Other than the occasional mention when answering a question
for free, none really.
When the justification for letting 12 year old bugs exist in the bug
database is:
that the code was too complex or that fixing the old bug would create
new bugs
The code had just as much review before check-in as the page that you
looked at.
