[title] one step forward, two steps backwards.

[desc] Your nephew decided to visit you randomly out of the blue, while you are doing paperworks on the next government projects. He then showed a 4Leaves technology thread exposing @@DEMONYMADJECTIVE@@ companies about how inefficient their codes are. You are trying to ignore your nephewbut you can't handle his annoyance, and that is why you brought a board of technological advisors over at the ministry of technology to discuss this issue.
[validity] must have a strong IT sector, must not have "no computers/internet " policies

[option1] "Do you know why? because these companies are greedy capitalists!" yells your nephew. "well, this wouldn't be a problem if we force all of our softwares to be open-source, everyone could contribute at making codes shorter and more efficient right?"
[fallout] top-secret government softwares are leaked online due to a change in software distribution policies

[option2] "that would add more fuel to the fire" the head of the ministry of technology talks calmly. "you see, I used to work in one of these companies and the reason why software codes are so inefficient is because you're judged by how many lines of code you wrote, I was tasked at programming certain features and I maximized the efficiency of my code to about 50 lines, but my co-worker wrote 500 lines of code on these same features. I got paid less, so let's mandate that these companies have to judge their workers by how efficient their codes are, so that-" he stops suddenly, drank a cup of water, and continues; "MY APPS AND PROGRAMS WON'T CRASH EVERY 5 SECONDS"
[fallout] programmers wrote 50% less code for a 50% raise in their wage

[option3] "NO!" exclaims one of his advisors. "The reason why people wrote more code than they should've been is because it'll give them more experience! Let it be like that"
[fallout] many @@demonymadjective@@ programs get review-bombed in the program-store every time they updates

Your niece is a "he"?

Your niece is a "he"?

Don't judge.

That is one of the things that I noticed yes, I believe you meant nephew instead of niece? Unless the switch up was intended? If so, what was your intention, as it is a little unclear.

As to the issue topic, the subject of source codes is already covered in issue 1373, so I would advise you to be very careful about overlap. From what I see so far in this draft it does seem to overlap thematically. Perhaps there is another angle you could pursue with open source codes?

People straight up using source code to to bad stuff?

oh my god, what a giant mistake that i made
edit:fixed the newphew niece stuff (flushed emoji here) and on top of that issue 1373 does not have anything to do with this draft, that draft is speaking about personal data but this one is speaking about inefficiencies in programming.

and on top of that issue 1373 does not have anything to do with this draft, that draft is speaking about personal data but this one is speaking about inefficiencies in programming.

The core of both issues, namely the topic of source codes, does overlap. Issue 1373 discusses whether it should be open source, and this issue does the same. Thematically they're overlapping, and in both the first option is to have the code become open source. As I said, I would advise you to pursue a different angle in this draft, so as to steer clear from that overlap. In other words, you can still write about source codes, but just a different aspect of the subject that causes an issue.

Adding onto previous feedback, I would recommend you do some research on source codes and make sure you distinguish yours that it's not open source or have some premise that is unique in terms of open source.
