20 year industry vet here. Yeah, no thank you. In the age of AI, developer productivity and job security will involve your proprietary workflow. It no longer makes sense to share your knowledge with the world.
I've also worked 20 years in the industry, and if feel completely the opposite. Having a great setup and pipeline that works for you is a huge plus, but nothing can replace the intuition and knowhow you have built up with experience. Sharing is still caring, and we should not stop caring
I'm also tending towards the generous stance:
1. The value of software is tending towards nil while it's ever easier to tailor bespoke solutions.
That suggests to me that I'm losing less by sharing, and it's probably not even going to be taken wholesale and kept verbatim.
2. The labs have already trained on everything and will keep on doing so.
Therefore continuing to contribute to OSS doesn't just benefit my own future self but the entire ecosystem.
(Yes, I need to get over how it appears a select few are making off with the lion's share but that only differs in degree in comparison to the past)
At least now the cards are being shuffled elsewhere...

I'd highly advise people don't do this.
