It’s not a failure of corporate. It’s a failure of community. Would it be better if all internet infrastructure would be controlled by corporate? I would argue: no, it wouldn’t.

Perhaps It should be NPOs like ISOC or IETF that supports private open source engagement into internet infrastructure ?

Interesting read, thank you. I share your goal, and I think with AI- coding proving code right has become more relevant than ever.

What prevents that we, just move the goal post? Moving the bug from code to spec? The spec must always be simpler and more easily to understand and debug than the code. But in praxis that means it can’t be fully specific in most of the use cases?

I don’t understand - Why did they write this? It seems to add nothing to the domain?
