I can’t help but read this under the lens of my own experiences. For me open source is really about capturing less than I create, much like it’s written in the article. Heck, I’m a founder and we haven’t open sourced our product because we don’t want to do a “pretend” open source like others do, where it’s really just a marketing tool for enterprise.

It does help that I’ve always been able to make ends meet, so that keeps my idealistic vision of open source alive.

In any case, this was an excellent response to https://ma.tt/2024/10/on-dhh/
