>If you go through your dev career thinking only people who write and use open source code are brilliant

I didn't said that. I have just pointed that even close source developers are using open source when working daily on their closed source projects. So saying they don't care about something they use daily is ....wrong. Also I didn't said anything about their level of brilliance :)

>Not ever project is web.

The snark level, off the charts....

A lot of people don't care about cars but will still own one to drive to work every day. It's just a tool.

Its not. They just dont care if something is open source or not. Maybe they would happily use a free, closed source library instead.

Using open source in many enterprises is just a way to save costs, many times at expense of productivity as there are closed source options that are actually better, but not all companies are willing to shell out the cash.

Contributing back, or even announcing to the world that such packages are used is not even a thing.

When I said "entirely closed source projects" I meant that literally - some projects have no open source elements. They're written in closed source languages that you have to pay for, with closed source libraries and frameworks that you also have to pay for. They tend to be things like control systems in small industries, unusual embedded systems, and so on.

The software industry is big and hard to make general statements about. "All developers will use open source code" is not true.
