If you had/have enough disposable income, what would drive you to donate to opensource software? - programming.dev

Scenario: you’re using opensource software and you aren’t donating yet, however you have enough money left over every month to do so. Something(s) is holding you back from donating. Think about what that is and what would have to change for you to change that.

Okay, I am pretty extreme in my views of genAI in coding, so take me with a pillar of salt, but I’d need to be sure the devs and contributions ain’t vibe coded bullshit or that the people doing it actually understand what the hell their software actually does, not just code wise and not just some genAI explanation of what the code does either. Then I’d feel a little more comfortable donating in today’s day and age.

Last thing we need are people using genAI to code and then 2 generations later nobody actually knows how to code because they’ve all destroyed their brains and lost their human status to genAI.

@AceFuzzLord @tinkralge we won't stop it, but the crazy amount of people thinking they can build software... Yeah I can go to a shop and buy myself some brand new construction tools. But does that mean I can build a house 🏠?
