You don't owe the world your code. Open-source culture has a default: build something good, publish it, license it, answer the issues, keep it compatible forever. The Sovereign Developer asks the question that default skips: what does this developer actually gain by making this work public, and what do they give up to do it?This is not an argument against open source. It's an argument against treating openness as the automatic answer for every project. Drawing on economics, law, and the realities of maintainer burnout, the book makes the case that keeping software private can be the better choice for a given developer, and if you've already published something that no longer serves you, it offers a framework for deciding what to do next.For developers who have felt pressure to open-source something without ever weighing the cost, this book makes the case for the other option.

It is an organizational one.
