Dear SHL , Please truly open source this. I personally wouldn't mind AGPL but would still much prefer MIT Thanks.
There's no way he's going to do that. The leverage and market advantage would evaporate.
I'm reading a lot of complaints here but let's recognize some interesting aspects that Sahil is talking about: 1. It's the 5th largest rails codebase open to AI ingestion. 2. They are offering bounties for issues. Not large bounties but whatever, it's something. I personally like rails and would love to see AI tools improve with it. No idea if this code base will really help that, and when but it can't hurt. In my ex…
A Rust project that rewarded 300+ bounties ($37k) is now building an AI coding agent with the aim to solve bounties on Algora - it's an interesting benchmark I guess.
Curious myself what the next years might look like, but from everything I've seen so far we're definitely not there yet.
What a joke of a license. This is not open source. Why the fuck is everyone in VC land trying to change the true definition of open source?
They want the marketing benefits without the costs.

god we are so spoiled. this is a successful, pretty well known commercial project. it's now source available. you have plenty of resources to get context in 2 minutes. lets appreciate the big stuff, have some agency for the rest. usually if the project comes with a big lengthy beautiful readme thats actually a contra indicator that the thing is a production repo
I was also wondering what this was about. Should I care and why? It's not only that I don't want to, but literally can't use extra 2 minutes for _every_ link I open while browsing news sites. And that attention span window is only getting shorter. It's definitely not the first or last time for github repo not using the best real estate they have in "selling" their product.
The expectation to open every link may be the real issue. If the title and Readme don't speak to you, just let it be. You will always miss out on most things on the Internet.

It launched right here on HN 14 years ago. https://x.com/shl/status/1908090697984426227/photo/1
Gumroad became my cautionary tale for startup equity for early engineers. I remember excitedly following the story from start. It was fun to follow along. Then around 2015 things weren’t working well, so they laid off most of the team. Investors sold the company back to the founder at a steep discount. As I recall, a major investor sold their ownership for $1. Just like that, the founding engineers who worked so hard…
As for Sahil/Gumroad making money and growing. Meh. He's worked on it for 13 years and showing dedication beyond what I would have for most things. It's fine.
I love how nothing in the readme tells me what it actually is.
