Comment on Ask HN: Do you think differently about working on open source these days?

Comments

I don't know yet what I think, but my latest side project I decided to create privately on github.

You're concerned about LLMs stealing your code, yet you're still using Github in any form? You should be careful even using VSCode at this point, regardless of whatever promises they make.

Putting everything on github (public or private) is corporate OSS brainrot, as is MIT-everything-by-default (rather than copylefting everything).

In fact, back in the SF era, GPL variants dwarfed MIT/BSD by a wide margin:
