-AI is democratizing software development at an unprecedented pace, and it's creating a virtuous cycle that makes open source unstoppable. As development costs plummet and AI tools make codebases more accessible than ever, the traditional moats of proprietary software are evaporating. Here's why I believe that the future of software is inevitably open.

-The pendulum of software development has swung between open and closed source for decades. While closed source has dominated many sectors due to massive capital investments by tech giants, we're approaching an inflection point where open source's victory seems not just possible, but inevitable.

 The traditional moat of proprietary software companies – their secret sauce of complex codebases built over years with massive engineering teams – is rapidly eroding.
 
-AI tools are democratizing software development to an unprecedented degree (wrote a small post about this recently <a href="https://didierlopes.com/blog/the-cost-of-building-software-is-plummeting-to-zero/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">here</a>). A small team can now accomplish what previously required hundreds of engineers, dramatically reducing the cost and complexity of building sophisticated software systems.

-What's particularly interesting is how AI itself has been trained on vast repositories of open source code. This creates a virtuous cycle: more open source code leads to better AI models, which in turn makes it easier to contribute to and build upon open source projects. The barriers to entry for meaningful code contributions have never been lower.

 ## The economic equation is shifting
 
-Historically, companies might have chosen closed source solutions because the cost of customizing open source alternatives was prohibitively high. You needed specialized engineers who understood the codebase intimately, and modifications often required significant time and resources. This equation is rapidly changing.

+Historically, companies might have chosen closed-source solutions because the cost of customizing open-source alternatives was prohibitively high. You needed specialized engineers who understood the codebase intimately, and modifications often required significant time and resources. This equation is evolving swiftly.
 Modern AI tools can:
 
 - Analyze and explain complex codebases in seconds
 - Suggest modifications and optimizations
 - Generate custom implementations based on specific requirements
 - Debug and troubleshoot issues perfectly
 
-This means companies can now take battle-tested open source solutions and adapt them to their specific needs at a fraction of the traditional cost. The economic advantage of closed source solutions is diminishing daily.

 If you agree with this statement, why are you not building accordingly?
