Every app is now open source, whether it likes it or not
Original: Every app on Earth is now open source... whether it likes it or not
Fireship, a popular developer commentary channel, published a widely viewed piece arguing that effectively every application's code is now exposed to the public, whether its makers consent or not. The claim reflects growing discussion in the software world about decompilation, leaked source code, and tools that can reconstruct or expose proprietary code, and how little practical secrecy remains for commercial apps.
Why now: It touches a nerve among developers and tech firms over how easily proprietary software can be reverse engineered or leaked in the age of AI and decompilation tools.
