You mean because l337 circles could form better this way?

I think it's great that the barriers are dropping for less technical skilled people to manifest their visions, but we will have to figure out better ways to find the gold among the slop.

I disagree. Bring back elitism and ivory towers. Some projects now benefit from being run by private cabals with their own strict initiation process, which would also guarantee a baseline of quality.

The bazaar model works if everyone is trusted. If you can’t even be sure the person in front of you is even a human, it is time to pack it up.

		Both models can exists? If elite ivory towers produce working products people will use, great.

Keep in mind I'm still not convinced that 2000s bazaar was better than 90s cathedral (in fact I lean the other direction)
