Ya, I'm not sure even that would be enough though to be honest.

I am kinda imagining a structure for a theoretical dev tooling business that might be OSS Core, and Source Available additional features. I'm not sure if there is a generally accepted definition of Source Available, but I don't necessarily mean that the source is just out in public on the web. It could be sent to you when you purchase the product, and could maybe even be sold on an upgrade sort of model, where you pay again for the next "big version" of the software, like the good old days of desktop software.

It's super important to me. I use Herdr every day and I maintain a whole stack of changes. From minor comfort tweaks that are just preference, to several larger changes like add jj workspace support and a WIP web based view (powered by xterm.js).

This is not the only project like this too. Many of my devtools are piling up changes. I try to upstream changes where it makes sense, but many times they are either very bespoke, or I can't be bothered to do them "right" (for example for the jj workspace change, I just ripped out git support, so I didn't have to futz with syncing the symantics up between the two and config and whatnot).

LLMs have made making personal changes to devtools so effortless that I am now extremely hesitant to use any non source available software at all.

I have been thinking about a possibly expanded market for source available software. I don't really care what the license of the software is, I'm not sharing it at all or using it commercially, so it's kinda a moot point. If someone made some amazing software and sold the source I'd definitely consider it. I know there are all sorts of practical business problems with that, but that aside I'm curious if others feel the same?

Location: Seattle, WA Remote: Yes, hybrid in Seattle works as well Willing to relocate: No Technologies: I've been all over the place. Go, JS (and TS) and Python are probably my strongest languages, and I have recently been having a lot of fun with Elixir and Rust. I have also done smaller amounts of work in Java, Kotlin, Ruby + Rails and Clojure. Resume: https://giodamelio.com/resume/ Email: [email protected]

--- I am a software engineer with 6 years of professional experience, though I have been programming since I was a kid. I am a huge proponent of Open Source (see my Github[1]). I am looking to join a smaller company, either as a FTE or on a contracting basis.
