  I disagree.
  No matter how many coders exist, you always need to pay attention to quality. If there are lots of coders out there, finding a few good ones shouldn’t be hard.

  Inexperienced coders can still contribute even if they don’t write anything big. FOSS needs all kinds of contributions.

  I think if someone is interested in the topic, then they will be better equipped to navigate tech products if they’ve learned about what’s going on under the hood. Same as health/science education for navigating pop science, or mechanical knowledge for navigating scammy car mechanics.

  I agree on some of the other points though. I would not use any of the random chat apps that these new accounts have been posting
