As the cost of producing code goes down (via gpt), I can only imagine that *more* of it will be open source. Working code that does the job to be done is a Need-to-have. Open source is generally a nice-to-have. But when costs go down, you get more of the nice-to-haves.

Probably less! If it’s super custom and you didn’t build it / don’t understand it, why would you share it? Open source is three things: 1) legal innovation = licenses 2) way of working = collaborative peer production of code 3) ideology = info wants to be free I think generated code wrecks (2)

I am talking about absolute amount of OS code, vs relative to total code. With that said, do you still think so?

Yep! The concept of OSS relies on (2) — people working on code together. “Just” putting an open license on something isn’t particularly helpful if you don’t maintain and improve it.

Question becomes, will there be a type of maintenance that relates to some record of prompts and clarifies some kind of thinking process prior to it/them.
