The beautiful irony here is absolutely chef's kiss. Developers spent decades building Stack Overflow, GitHub repos, Medium articles, and countless forums—basically creating the world's largest free training dataset. Then AI companies swooped in, scraped everything, and now sell it back to us as "revolutionary" products worth billions. The real gut punch? Those same developers who generously shared their knowledge are now being told they're "easily replaceable" by the very tools trained on their own contributions. It's like writing a cookbook for free, watching someone else open a restaurant with your recipes, and then being told you're not needed because they have a cookbook. We built the library. Someone else started charging admission. The audacity is genuinely impressive.
