the idea that using open-source software opens you up to exploitation could hold weight in a world where keeping your business afloat didn't necessarily mean moving at light speed to keep up with the industry, and you could hire people on to make sure everything you make is secure while delivering features and getting customers.
and the idea that open source projects might just vaporize, leaving you in the dust, paints a picture of an industry that only sees critical software components as "worth funding" if the funds line the pockets of the board of directors.
how fucking bleak.
