I’m so excited about the possibilities of AI for open source. Open source projects are mostly labours of love that take a huge amount of effort to produce and maintain - but as AI gets better and better agentic coding capabilities. It will be easier than ever to create your own libraries, software, and even whole online ecosystems.

Very possible that there will still be successful private companies, but how much of what we use will switch to free open source alternatives do you think?

Do you think trust and brand recognition will be enough of a moat to retain users? Will companies have to reduce ads and monetisation to stay competitive?
