Why open source is a hint at how people will build together online
Think of software like a crowd of people fixing and making things, often without pay, and you get a glimpse of a bigger change.
This show how people can join, each doing small parts, and together make something large.
When work can be split into tiny tasks, and pieces are easy to put back together, many more will pitch in, even strangers that never met.
In networks, it's easier to find the right person for a job, so skills get used better than in old company setups.
As tools and links get cheaper, the gap grows between joint projects and big firms, because collaboration can tap many hands and many ideas.
The limit is not money, its how easy the work can be split and stitched, and how cheap to weave it back together.
This way of making things lets a lot of people share effort, and sometimes makes better result, faster.
It feels like a new kind of teamwork for a connected world, where scale matters, and small contributions become big wins.
