> you honestly have zero concept of what programming looks like outside of web apps
Are you serious? I don't do web apps. But almost 100% of our stack is based on open source technologies. Python, Twisted, Go, etc. Every single thing we use is open source.
It is ironic that you are accusing someone else of having zero concept of what programming looks like outside of web apps when one could easily think the same thing about you.
You can create closed-source software using open-source software. That’s how Google made so many billions and that’s probably why the AGPL exists.
GCC was so revolutionary because it brought a pro-level (although not at the start) compiler toolchain for free and allowed developers who were so inclined to improve and modify it.
And lots of Python code is for things like machine learning, Go runs lots of DevOps/neo-infrastructure stuff, and I can’t comment on Twisted.
