[erlang-questions] Time for OTP to be Renamed?

[Anthony Ramine]

My point was that reducing the scarcity through renaming OTP will just allow companies to hire less competent developers which they will pay less. Do you really think a developer coming because we renamed a tool will be a good one? I doubt it.

>>> Basic ECON-101 predicts that people buy more of the "stuff", when the "stuff" is cheaper, and, conversely,  less of the "stuff" when the "stuff" is more expensive; thus,  the obvious outcome cannot be a "GOOD for thing Erlang programmers", as they would eventually go extinct.
