I do a lot of “vibe coding” but just put my stuff out with MIT or GPL depending, its mostly just stuff for me and I have no intention of trying to monetize the code itself.

Though I’m a weirdo and don’t have a profit motive aside from living a moderate life and making useful things for myself.

I feel like in general too many things are created for the sole reason of trying to generate profit and it bastardizes everything, though I get it, look at the world we live in.

Edit: Also been trying to move away from Copilot/ChatGPT and have expanded my homelab enough to be able to get really competent use out of open source models.

Qwen3.8 27b is pretty damn good when I was used to using Copliot Raptor (god that model was rough but still least free…) or constantly running out of quota on ChatGPT

I also have always been the techy nerd people went to for help, so I have a lot of troubleshooting and general “how programs work” knowledge that helps me steer design, took some OOC classes and such over the years just could never get over the hump to actually write myself so LLMs have been so transformative to me.
