On a personal note: I find that not even FOSS developers like me are spared from this.

Every has the tools to do it now. They carry them in their pocket .

The lacking resource is time. Everyone has the tools, but only the privileged have enough time to do social media full time.

While you might write a few hundred lines of code and publish it, because it was fun to write and might help other people, the next guy is going to try leverage that into his start up so he can larp at being CEO.

That's why my code is AGPL. Someone else using it doesn't hurt me :)

What's the difference between AGPL and normal GPL? My code is under GPL and now I'm wondering if I should switch.

in short, AGPL means that if someone takes your software and serves it as a webservice, technically not "distributing" it, they still have to share its source.
