Sorry the last images I see are from 13 hours ago. Are those for the 2 RCE ones?

> When one develops using open-source software they have an obligation to follow the licenses.

Agreed!

> They also have a moral obligation to be respectful of the work upon which they’re building.

Respectfully, completely disagree!

Open source is a license, not a moral framework. Your only duty is to abide by the license. If you want to enforce that everything built on top of a particular open source package also be open source, that belongs in the license.

Yeah! So is Taylor otwell, the primary source to whom I linked.

Pretty well https://x.com/taylorotwell/status/2093329899083759634?s=46

I was at Big Sky Dev Con when they unveiled the GameBoy game. I kid you not my jaw dropped. I thought it was some sort of like emulator gimmick until they said "everyone can take a physical cartridge home!"

One of the most delightful little swag stunts I've ever seen, and emblematic of the HTMX crew just how much they care about craft and delight in everything they do.

I added the qs because it defaulted to a story from 3 months ago.

soloterm.com is closed source

woah hey! you're speaking the shibboleths!

I'll take that bet

I think you're conflating a talent pipeline with ease of running PHP. Those are not the same thing at all

> We should fund open source!

> Not like that!

My word... samwho is doing some of the best technical explainers on the internet right now.

I've run into that issue while developing https://soloterm.com.

If you respond twice to their theme query probes, the whole thing bricks. Or if you're slightly out of order. It's very delicate.

damn framerate looks good

> But the good news is that we can increase our chances of encountering good luck.

Every phrase in the article was carefully selected to make it clear that we're trying to increase the odds. Nothing is sure. But if you play the game right, the odds of winning go up

My role? My role as a what?

I understand. I am, however, impotent against OpenAI. If I publish code to GitHub, I understand it will be used for training. I'd rather get the win for my family than try to fight a megacorp. I'm sorry.

Unfortunately we have to play the game according to the rules on the field. You can decide to opt out entirely (which is fine) or you can play the game and try to win. Personally, I will play and try to win.

That means I will make things, talk about them, and accrue social and/or actual capital for me and my family. I can't stop any megacorp from training on my code, and it's futile to try. I CAN build cool things, talk about them, and get cool jobs or friends or a following or whatever. I understand not everyone is comfortable with this tradeoff.

And guess how you make friends in high(er) places...

by...

publishing your work and making friends in your industry

No easy answers, I'm afraid. But I would still say you can get lots of social capital from creating things and talking about it. And these days, that can get you past the LLM-inundated HR front door if you want a job. If you hang out on twitter long enough you'll see people go from "hey I made this cool thing" to "hey cloudflare/vercel/etc hired me to come work on cool-thing-adjacent thing!"

It's a pretty repeatable pipeline. And having proof that you can DO something makes you stand out. Maybe moreso than ever!

Very well said

You had me in the first half! <3

Hey! I wrote the article a few years ago. Fun to see it on HN again.

It was here back when I wrote it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32071137

Lots of comments talking about how this is just some sort of ploy to feed the machine. I don't know what to tell you. I can only tell you it changed my life and the lives of many others. Hope it can help you too!

Then define luck as "connecting with fellow nerds." Still works

Totally. An engineer, who (at the the time) works in marketing! Makes sense to me :D

I'm a software developer who was, at the time, working in a marketing role. Happy to answer questions.

I wrote the article. I'm not a marketing droid, I don't work for GitHub, just a guy recounting his personal experiences and hoping to help others.

Hey! I wrote the article. Having an OSS project take off changed my life. YMMV

I think you're conflating the cost to consumers to use AI and the cost to run AI. Sure, it's a house of cards, but the cost to consumers still rounds to zero.
