Is it really that big of a deal that people should stop using open source?

It was a stupid bug and people learned a lot today.

Open source software is used in critical infrastructure today. Billions are
being spent on open source development and it's not just for hobbyists
anymore.

I remember the days when I was told I commuted career suicide when I went
open source.

The only proprietary software I use nowadays are the firmware on this phone
and my laptop and the websites I read. So I am biased. Yeah Whatever.
