since code is so cheap to generate, an ai can basically replicate your product just by looking at it, opensource just makes it easier to steal your architecture if you’re actually good at programming/agentic engineering and have built a good codebase.

Oops, doesn’t matter, joe bob down the street now cloned your engineering expertise at the click of the button and is now selling your product. Seriously reconsidering my stance on open source in the agentic era.

Like whats the point of open source anymore, just to make it easier for your competitors to carbon copy your entire startup at the click of a button ?

before it made sense for sourcing free labour and collaboration, but copying is so much more powerful now. Im starting to think opensource is going to get less popular
