Yeah that's the difference between value creation and value capture. If you're not good at the latter then you're not going to get paid. You can capture value many ways: - subscriptions that promise improvements or act as DRM - vendor contracts - becoming a platform and extracting rent - using your audience as an advertising resource But the reality is that the hard part with software is discovering what's useful. Actually writing software has been getting easier for a while. Once you've discovered what's useful, no one is going to pay you for that. They can replicate. I'd rather use podman than docker.
