Avoid Gumroad's service and using the open source code.

The Gumroad CEO has been using Devin for vibe coding their codebase which adds more risk of untested code and risks of more bugs since there are less vetted engineers in the company.

As with most tech / influencers overhyping technology, I'm assuming he has invested in Devin and other AI tools and has not disclosed it.

On top of the fact that Sahil has been working for DOGE is also another reason to avoid Gumroad.

You should just use Patreon, Stripe, BuyMeACoffee, Ko-fi, etc.

It would be great if there is a migration guide for creators such to move away from Gumroad as soon as possible.
