@oni Yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade. And I could deal with all this shitshow at work, because well, money talks.
But this was part of my hobby, part of the "craft" I care about, that is now going away. And the number of people who I thought were like-minded also reduced significantly. Of course I can still do whatever I want at home, and tinker with software. But if you're making tools even as a hobby, you want those tools to be used by someone.

@chainq This rings quite true to me. I've never had the joy of anyone using the tools I've made - I've never managed to submit anything to a FOSS project sadly. But connection and being valued is super important yes. That relationship might change. I suspect a lot of use technical folk might have to go more sysad, security or similar to keep these connections maybe?
