software, capitalism
I used to rule out my involvement in projects that are themselves commercial, because it always ends up being labour exploitation and shady business tactics.
With every passing day, and every 'big tent' software project experience, I am more and more seriously considering only ever getting involved in projects that explicitly commit to being anti-capitalist.
So often they just end up becoming the same thing as commercial projects, just with a layer of indirection...

@joepie91 And the sad reality is, LLMs training machines find your public code, and then somehow you work for those projects for free too. The developer landscape is sooo messed up right now. 😭
