Do you know how many lines of code have been written with zero interest in the return on investment they'll generate?

A whole lot. Like a lot a lot.

agree, many "lines of code", but I'm talking about products, not libraries or any open source projects. Can you mention a couple of products (related with this) that are successful with no business model or monetization strategy?

Let’s just short circuit this conversation because I’m hung over:
I have at least a dozen themes for WebStorm and VSCode that have no monetization.
VSCode is just an editor. No money there.
run “pipx install bpytop” and enjoy a beautiful free and 10000% un-monetizable system status console.

Oh. And Debian. Ubuntu. OpenSuse. CentOS. Xu/Lu/etc*buntu.

The room is spinning. My argument is ….

Katy Perry is so pretty. And you’re wrong. 🧐
