An ugly side effect of AI use is your skills *with AI* increase, while your skill in the subject at hand stagnates, because you're not really working on that skill, you're doing work *about* that skill.

If you're already a very familiar, that's not a big problem, but if you're a novice - you'll likely stay a novice. And that's a big problem. And it's hard to use even working AI code to learn from because it tends to be really verbose, and humans learn best from concise samples made to teach a specific thing.

I mean, that's why it's an open license, but yes - if the tailscale folks decided so, it'd be dead in the water.

But - I don't think they will, at least not intentionally. I have a feeling headscale is a gateway drug - you try it out, decide you like it, but it's a pain because you need to run a server on a public IP and it doesn't have this new thing they added in tailscale and eventually it's just easier to buy into the tailscale ecosystem.

And - effective. I use tailscale's free stuff, and I'm comfortable enough with it I will very seriously consider it for non-hobby use at some point soon, I expect.
