I think the coolest thing about open source is that I keep discovering new tricks inside GDAL that make my life better, and I can instantly also run those tricks in an R or Python or whatever environment because those ecosystems are building on the same fundamental bricks

In general, open source development patterns mean that improvements to one low-level component can have exponential benefits as that change gets incorporated down the dependency chain It's easy to see why FOSS was originally a sort of utopian ideal

@MikeMahoney218@fosstodon.org Totally agree, however I somehow feel that discovering new things in GDAL is also possible because documentation could be better. :) would love to see some of those tricks you discovered
