Gave a talk to this effect 5 years ago, to an audience including enthusiastic developers aspiring to found this new breed of startups. I expected my comments might be polarizing but instead of arguments got questions which seemed to indicate this was the first time they'd considered the question. It's not necessarily that people think it's a sane idea per se, but that they've become accustomed to the idea that writing code naturally requires approval of these gatekeepers as a starting point. I hope the ecosystem recovers.
