Show Notes
In this episode, we dive into a staggering shift in the developer landscape: the move toward private repositories and the end of the "build in public" era. We explore the "contributor as customer" paradox, where massive AI labs ingest open source logic only to sell it back to the original creators as a subscription service. From the rise of "fair-code" licenses to the potential for programmatic attribution, we discuss how the community is fighting back against the corporate exploitation of collective intelligence. This is a must-listen for anyone wondering who really owns the code in the age of agentic AI.
