Is Open Source fucked? If you build anything and it instantly get copied and used as training data, can you even gain market share? Why would you even maintain the project when you're overwhelmed with slop PRs and CVEs ? And even if you get some level of traction, how do you monetize when any random shmuck can ask its agent to set things up on AWS or Cloudflare? Building and releasing an open source project used to be challenging. You had to write docs. You had to think about how to make onboarding as easy as possible for new users. You had to make sure what you shipped was reasonably safe to run. You had to prioritize features and bug fixes. The bar is much lower now. I suspect the quality is too, but it doesn't matter to end users if it solves their problem.
