Within this community, there are the so-called \u201cworshipers of open-source religion.\u201d They occasionally view alternative approaches as wrong, and while they are curious about others&#8217; code, they often keep theirs under wraps. It raises the question: By what right do they demand to see someone else&#8217;s code, especially when they aren\u2019t willing to share their own? This clearly is a contradiction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I, too, have shared a significant amount of code, helping many in the process. However, many of those who benefited often take it for granted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another challenge with open source is the lack of continuity. Numerous open-source projects kick off, but many are abandoned midway. This is mainly because there&#8217;s insufficient long-term motivation for talented developers. Such discontinuations can harm the users who rely on these projects. When damage arises from a halted project, who is to bear the responsibility?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When problems emerge, some people are quick to point fingers and criticize. In contrast, the wise ones strive to find solutions. I choose not to engage in fruitless battles with the former.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you desire my code, it&#8217;s only fair that you either pay a legitimate price or make your work open source in return.<br><br><strong>I do not fight with fools<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/www.charleskwon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1028\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.charleskwon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.charleskwon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.charleskwon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.charleskwon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-768x768.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I do not fight with fools.
