The Role of Open Source in Shaping the Future of Software Development
summary

Large stacks are built on real tools: half the internet runs on Kubernetes, languages and kernels account for the biggest replacement cost, companies ship cloud‑native apps using open frameworks, maintainers fix emergency PRs that leak secrets and foundations or paid maintainer time determine whether a patch lands fast enough.
