208 - The Puhunan of “Free” — What Open Source Really Costs (and Gives Back)

From Linux and Android to the tools every dev tasks for granted, open-source software has quietly become the backbone of the tech industry – often without the market fully crediting it. This episode looks at why that happened, and pairs it with a builder’s eye view: what it’s actually like as a solo developer to design, ship, and maintain your own apps in the open — the tradeoffs, the unglamorous debugging, and why “free” software is never actually free to build.
