I set up an ubuntu virtual machine and use antigravity in turbo mode no restrictions. Hardly look at the code anymore at all. Get to be more like a product owner/project manager/QA and kind of just guide it like prologic said. I've released some World of Warcraft addons which all require manual testing. I have deploy and commit workflows/skills or what have you, that it automatically runs at the end of a turn so I can test in the client before releasing an update. I don't know linux very well, so I also use the antigravity cli when doing stuff to the system as well. I give it passwordless sudo even so it can be as free as it can! I have everything on github, and make checkpoints of my VM sometimes, so if it deletes my home folder or whatever, I'll just restore it.

So, hide it behind multiple companies, and you will be fine? Should just share the source code.

The "Microsoft Tax" is often cheaper than the "Linux Engineering Salary." While Linux alternatives exist, they require "assembly"—integrating LDAP, Kerberos, DNS, and config management (Ansible/Salt) to do what AD does out of the box.

Most businesses don't want to be in the business of maintaining their own identity infrastructure. They want a utility. Between Group Policy’s granular control over the endpoint and the tight integration with Exchange/M365, Microsoft has created a "sticky" ecosystem. I've tried the "DIY" route with Linux mail servers, and the friction of maintaining deliverability and security patches manually is a nightmare compared to the "it just works" nature of the Microsoft ecosystem.

I am not a system admin, so maybe this is a crappy take.
