Replit's position there seems reasonable to me. Companies would be a lot less enthusiastic about hiring developers if it came with the risk that someone could take internal designs and open source them with no repercussions.

If your company's value proposition can be replicated by an intern in a weekend, you have a much bigger problem than interns.

Companies' enthusiasm for hiring developers worries me not even a little. Of much greater moment, IStM, is the character, or lack of, demonstrated by company officers. That CEO's final e-mail lays him all out. I will certainly not be applying to work at Replit.

hmm, those emails are cringey
