Then you’re reading it wrong. My comment says nothing of the sort.
The implication here is that it’s better not to publish open source code because somewhere down the road, you might make a decision that some crowd doesn’t like and they will start messing with your shit. If you do your own thing in private, hand code it if you like, vibe code it if you like, you don’t have any problem and you’re safe. If you write private code for your corporate overlord, no problem, you’re safe AND you’re getting paid. But if you share your stuff, and you’re unlucky enough that it becomes popular, then some internet mob might harass you at some point.
In that context you’d be pretty stupid to donate your time and energy to anything open. You’ll get maybe 10 contributors in a decade, willing to help you along the way. But one misstep and you’ll get hundreds of haters. The game just isn’t worth it.

I see we’re going with the “woke cancel culture ruined comedy” argument.
Mate, if you’re going to take your ball and leave over the slight possibility that you might have to answer to some criticism one day, you’re not really living in the civilized society that I do. It seems kind of pointless to even talk to you.
What a load of brainrot. You’re a psychopath if you believe it’s okay to campaign against a volunteer developer for the sin of having created free stuff in a way that doesn’t 100% aligns with your values. On reddit, lemmy, fucking Xitter of all places, on Discord, on Github. Yup. Totally normal way to treat a guy who’s been pivotal to gaming on linux for 2 decades while you sat on your collective asses.
I get that we live in an ultra-individualistic moment of history, where people like you feel empowered to shit on the efforts of others. I get that the current geo/politic/economic situation has you convinced that you can do anything to anyone without any repercussions ever. You’re just learning by example after all.
I also get that the social media climate would have you believe this is normal human behavior. But it is not. Fuck you and your ilk.
I like the implication that open source code must include AI, and so the only recourse is to reject… all open source projects?
You know, we had a FOSS without AI like ten years ago. I’d prefer to keep that one.

The efforts of AI, you mean.
Truthfully, I wonder if we even need that guy’s 20 years any more. Maybe he should retire.
And there you have it, ladies and gentlemen. Gloves are off.
