I agree with most of this post. I also agree that open source software is the way forward, but not that Stephenson has anything to do with the position. There is not an original bone in that man's body.

    Open source is great, but the reality is that closed source software is still a huge chunk of the industry. Most mobile apps are closed source. Almost everything Apple has touched is closed source. Google, Microsoft, IBM, OpenAI, etc. Closed source software development is very dominant in the industry. More so than I think Stephenson ever thought it would be.
