@shapr@recurse.social @mhoye@cosocial.ca @arclight@oldbytes.space What perplexes me is that from at least the mid-'90s to about 5 years ago, the secret sauce/source was the most secret, most precious commodity the company had, and under no circumstances could anyone outside the company be allowed to access it, glimpse it, or even be provided with any hints as to its dark mysteries. And now, companies are just "quick, we have send all our repos as input to this foreign company's magic box that we don't even really understand!"
Wut?

@aspragg@ohai.social @shapr@recurse.social @mhoye@cosocial.ca If you just churn the code base every 6 weeks, and replace all your tech staff with contract vibe coders, does your source code still have value? Just print out all your Sooper Sekrit Prompts, seal them up in an old mayonnaise jar, and bury them under the CTO's porch.
