Soup kitchens have the exact same risk. If those soup kitchens cook too much, they will drive restaurants out of business. Luckily, for both soup kitchens and programmers, this will never happen. There is more programming work to be done than programmers, and the markets aren't the same.

Soup kitchens and restaurants are not competitors.

And volunteer development work and professional development work are also not competitors.
