A place for developers to talk about building on Farcaster.

/dev

Open source it all. Literally every last piece of the fucking stack.

There are evil companies who are locking in devs under the veil of pretty marketing and “vibes”. They should be considered as much a threat if not more than every legacy institution we aim to replace.

They’re a disease in our industry spreading like wildfire, turning the new internet into a mirror image of the old internet.

Open source every last line of code.

Strong agree.

Beyond straight up "marketing/vibe" driven proprietary-system entrapment, I think we're seeing some "complex adaptive" evolution of these kinds of behaviors into the OSS world itself - with psudo-OSS projects acting as honey traps into underlying propriety systems (of late, all about cloud infra).  

Next.js comes to mind, but I don't have a fully worked out argument to support that - it was just whiffs of that that had me walk away from it years ago now.  React getting into server rendering is another - that feels far to conveniently aligned with the interests of infra players - to be coincidence.
