   the absolute disrespect towards open source coming from tech journalists and groups like Hashicorp is staggering. open source raised you from diapers and you owe every experience you've had with technology more complex than a using fucking light switch to the open source movement. if open source isn't a good fit for your business, you're either invested in lying to uphold a belief system or value proposal, wrong, or doing something that isn't worth doing with computers.

     the idea that using open-source software opens you up to exploitation could hold weight in a world where keeping your business afloat didn't necessarily mean moving at light speed to keep up with the industry, and you could hire people on to make sure everything you make is secure while delivering features and getting customers.

     and the idea that open source projects might just vaporize, leaving you in the dust, paints a picture of an industry that only sees critical software components as "worth funding" if the funds line the pockets of the board of directors.

     how fucking bleak.
