Should I Close Source My Company? Replying to Supabase


I was reading Supabase's 'Should I Open Source my Company?', and wanted to add some nuance which might be useful for certain companies and industries.

PaaS competitors have highly paid, respectful engineers who would not accept code theft or license violations. TLDR: think about what type of industry you're in, the customers you have and how that affects theft, license violation or simply legal copying. If you're interested in modern web technology(e.g. drizzle-orm 😉️) and aren't put off by closed source or defence tech, consider getting in contact with me at rust-ion-rocking at duck.com(relay email address courtesy of duckduckgo extension).
