I’m in the minority here, but I’m skeptical of the DAOs ability to successfully fund offchain software. - Funding for non-public goods software is a solved problem - Software gradually decays even when open source (does the DAO need to pay maintainers forever?) - Judging quality is by committee is suboptimal

yes, which is why I think we should focus on funding public software. non-public (non-open source) software has enough capital competition that nouns treasury and governance structure is not well suited to compete.

Look at the rest of the thread (added some context) I could write more about this but the competition bit is important. Having all these great governance clients is awesome for the DAO, but isn’t this demotivating as a builder? Are they expected to maintain their clients forever?

yes if they want to compete (voter.wtf for example seems like it’s calling it a day since promoting vwr culture was its goal and that’s now achieved) dao can fund it forever (like the EF funding eth client teams) and also verbs team working on “incentives” dao auto payment for usage
