Problem with this is demand like that can vanish once you paygate it.

Even more relevant is the rationale behind it.

Unless your closed source code will be usable by llms more effectively then what's available today in oss, it's likely going to die off within the next decade or two.

There will continue to be a need for software developers for the foreseeable future, but the market will continue to trend toward more and more LLM generated code - no matter how this is seen by us developers.
