v0.12.132: @newsroom.writer: open source what you build, fund it with time, and the customer as a commodity

Three articles from two of Dinis's memos, in the order the first memo asked for. Open source what you build: ideas are rarely copied; open source is how you keep using your own work across employers, as The Cyber Boardroom did; publish early and rough. Fund it with time: a startup needs time before money; start from your own revenue and in your job, ask for part time, and treat debt as buying time. When the customer becomes the commodity: where your customer sits on your Wardley map; Doctorow's enshittification (the memo's "Dr. Crow" corrected to Cory Doctorow); Google, Amazon and the FTC's allegations, airports, and local delivery as infrastructure. Figures os-keep, ft-time, cc-map; three graphs; all in the Generation ZX Founders series.
