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.

I am talking about absolute amount of OS code, vs relative to total code. 

With that said, do you still think so?

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)

The ratio of open to closed source may not matter as much as the ratio of code written in the future vs the past.

I think you would enjoy the talk I posted on my profile about the future of apps, it define how in a near future way more people are gonna be able to make apps (how barriers will be lower). Hopefully way more open source yes!
