When all the valuable code is free, the price of valuable code will be 0.

People will only profit from the value of the code, not the creation/ownership of the code itself. LLMs seem like they're dropping the cost of code creation significantly (50-90% so far)... impacted players should plan accordingly.

It's a fundamentally different model, not a broken one. It will break a lot of businesses if they don't adapt.
