There is an ASCII chart in https://phrack.org/issues/72/18_md#article which references https://arxiv.org/pdf/2008.07753 [PDF], a 2020 article showing that open source peaked in 2013. In some qualitative sense that feels intuitively correct, but I am skeptical that in the modern world filled with a zillion NPM dependencies and the cloud YAML explosion and now vibe-coded everything that we are actually producing less l…

That ship had sailed well before the ~1997 launch of the book. See for example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hackers_(film) (1995) or http://www.takedown.com/ (1996)

Hacker Crackdown. The PC scene ruined everything.
