I think most topics of the "Hidden Cost" you list in fact apply to any kind of software, "open" or "not open source": "Time to set up", "Time to optimize" and "Troubleshooting".

The "Time to Support" is in the "grey area": in "open source" we do not have the support that a licensed software offers ( "not open source" ) but usually we spent a lot of time using the documentation of the software supplier before in fact get personal help. So, we have the same kind of work, no matter if it is "open" or "close".

"Open Source software" which has great quality usually also has a lot of information in Forums, websites like "stackoverflow" and video tutorials everywhere .... All of these help us to solve problems in all the topics you relate. The same applies to "not open source". This way I think, in general, the cost ( except the license money of the "not open" we usually spend ) for both kinds of software is the same.

I am having a bad time in this moment with dagster... in the exact way that you are describing

[abiddeveloper]

you are amazing man. do you have any paid courses or training, I wanna join. I am Database developer, expert in SQL, Migration, Query Optimization and now wanna move ahead to toward this new area of skills. I am doing migration of data from csv, raw data and SQL files from prod to test and vise versa, but I'm doing it in a traditional manner, testing the data with SQL script or Excel Sheet, opening and editing in VS Code but with your few videos, Now I know where should I set my aim, as learning those tools would be so valuable even as a DBA. I'm 31, please let me know if it's the right time to switch carrier or it's too late. Thanks. any way I have a good experience of Node (javascript) & C# also planning to make python also part of this list.
