"Personally, the team I lead is able to ship much faster with AI assistants than without, which means in practice we can out compete much larger teams in the same space."

So, you're giving away your company's IP to AI firms, does your CEO understand this?

Appreciate the snark, but yes my CEO and I did have a good chat about that. My team's work is 100% open source, so if anyone wants to borrow that code I'm more than happy to share! (obviously not from a pseudonymous account, but I don't mind the API sniffing).

But there's plenty of fantastic open models now and you can increasingly run this stuff locally so you don't have to send that IP to AI firms if you don't want to.

IP is a legal construct not a technical one. If it's protected by law it's protected by law.
