Making software self-hostable means signing up for years of support
Quote
when you curate it and care for it in a way that lets other people run it on their system. Yeah, that's, that's you're signing up for support long term for a lot of work, a lot of work and a lot of bug fixes and things like that.

Summary
Dave wants tools like Helipad to run on people's own infrastructure. But open-sourcing code and curating it so others can run it on their systems commits you to long-term support, a lot of work and bug fixes, so for niche tools you have to ask whether the tradeoff is worth it.
