What's wrong with proprietary software? Also, I'm not fond of his philosophy when it comes to programming. Not minimalist enough. Everything is bloated.

This is because people are trying to use a business model that depends on artificial scarcity. That's stupid when the value exchange is for a product that has a trivial distribution cost. A far better way to work is by exchanging value for something that isn't so trivially duplicated and for something that doesn't depend on artificial scarcity. What I do is sell my time as a software design expert. People can distribute my solutions all they want but it'll take another expert to modify my software solution to fit another business.

Indeed. Programmers would still be in demand, even if their work was freely available. Of course, they would need to be compensated fpr there time somehow.

Yes, but the money would need come from somewhere when the only product that results from the labor has no scarcity. I guess rather than paying for copies of the software, people would directly pay the programmers for implementing the features. Every system at this point seems to come down to either donations or public funding.

Once a get has been got, all lesser gets are meaningless. OP got quads in the OP, so dubs are now worthless.
