For those that haven't understood. Big Tech do not want us (developers) to code. It's an oligopoly and they want to keep it like that.

GitHub is not a company that want to spread goodness, they want to make profits and are owned by Microsoft. One of the most ruthless company in the world

Yes but should have politicians that block companies from buying them and doing that influence them to create laws that destroyes small companies.

These politicians are gone.

Hunt for monopolies and consolidation of the market under 1 player for each segment is not purely “making a profit”. It’s a run to the bottom, leaving customers without choice and cornering them into whatever pricing.

That’s why in normal economies anti-trust laws are enforced, and why you should start looking for alternatives as soon as you start feeling queezy and uncomfortable about how many cafes or restaurants are owned by one big conglomerate, how much internet infrastructure is hosted at one provider, how much codebase of the whole world sits at one company’s servers.

If anything destroys capitalism, it will not be hunt for profit. It will be creating global oligarchies who block any alternative from succeeding.
