But it means we are optimizing for something else than the best outcome or not? It is like with mp3 vs flac: mp3 is fine and optimizes for amount of data to represent a certain waveform, but lossless is the real deal for audiophiles and the only one capturing the real thing at a certain resolution. Same might be true for complex code or the best solution to a compression algorithms. Can the question really be answered if optimizing for marking does still produce the best result? Is it not like an author wanting to say something one way, but being forced to use certain words to get there?

What would you be willing to pay rent wise for such a space? Would be helpful to know required square footage/m^2 , location/city, maximum acceptable price/month, acceptable commuting distance to desired location.

Honestly: By trying to control usage its not FOSS anymore and you yourself become a bad actor in the eyes if the FOSS idea. No soon to be unicorn can use any of your stuff.

May I add: You’d have to stop using VsCode or TypeScript, or even npm and Chrome, if you think big means bad, and you don’t want to fuel big corporations.

One can see how rediculous the whole idea of limiting FOSS in a “who can use this” way is.

Truly free will always win in the long way. Or you don’t think, a paid dev with some AI can replace your package fairly quickly?

fair enough. I replied to the wrong comment. Sorry for that.

coffee.link is getting a git based version feature to make changes more transparent.

Also there is a deno (+ electron for GUI version) based testing tool coming to better understand network routes.

Additionally I plan to do a well researched series called "How does the internet work".
