The Birth Of Open Source: A Printer's Revenge

Starting them young on kernel compilation, I see. That baby's face is the exact same expression I had during my first segmentation fault. Dad's over here thinking he's preparing the next Linus Torvalds, but that kid's already contemplating a career in product management. Nothing says "I love you" like condemning your offspring to a lifetime of tracking down missing dependencies and explaining to non-technical family members that "No, I can't fix your printer just because I know Linux."

AWS and Cloudflare keep the lights on while unpaid open source developers silently prevent digital apocalypse. Meanwhile, AI sits there looking smug while Microsoft does... whatever it is Microsoft does these days. And there you are, somewhere in the middle of this precarious structure, just trying to make a web app that doesn't crash when someone types an emoji.
