So now all the open source projects that use this walled off closed platform (even though scores of people complained and warned about it) can go back to hopefully using something open and searchable.
Sure but I still think it's unfair to characterise Germany as an outlier or a "trouble maker." Weren't they also the ones who took the privacy fight to Google with regards to things like Street View? That kind of behaviour is making trouble for US companies.
Since WW2, German national pride is something that is not very well received, added to that the old east/west divide, and the generally strong identification with ones own state/region. It is a complex affair.
Thats the problem, the most “noise” regarding AI is made by juniors who are wowed by the ability to vibe code some fun “sideproject” React CRUD apps, like compound interest calculators or PDF converters.
No mention of the results when targeting bigger, more complex projects, that require maintainability, sound architectural decisions, etc… which is actually the bread and butter of SW engineering and where the big bucks get made.
