@baldur Awesome article.
My hot take is that a decline in OSS participation will be a good thing. People need to re-evaluate what things are worth spending unpaid labour on. And companies need to stop receiving an endless supply of free labour via using FOSS software, tools & libraries.
Because as great as the philosophy is, it just results in a massive transfer of labour-wealth from skilled coders to savvy corporations.
@baldur The philosophy of FOSS works best when all parties are cooperative. I'll share my OSS library & you share some free sound effects you made, and that guy shares an icon set & that girl shares her plugins. And the companies who use these things give support in terms of $$ or staff who are given paid time to contribute.
But this isn't the world or economic system we live in yet so FOSS becomes a spinning top that is too heavy on one side. That wobble will just keep growing.
