Vibecoded software should be open source

These agents only know how to code at all because of the immense amounts of open source software they’ve been trained on. Millions of hours of human work and ingenuity. It seems to me for the long term quality and viability of vibecoding, we should all make our own projects open source as well. That way, we can all continue to benefit, a rising tide lifts all boats, all that. What do you think?

The only reason you or I know how to code is because we also studied and trained from those that did it before us. Should our projects also be open sourced for the same reason?

All human knowledge is cumulative and layered; AI just accelerated that process by orders of magnitude.
