going closed source does not mean we are not fighting fire with fire

we are using a handful of internal AI vulnerability scanners for months now

being open source simply reduces risk by 5x to 10x according to several security researchers we are working with https://cal.com/blog/continuous-ai-pentesting-vulnerability-...

Don’t get me wrong but if virtually all modern software infrastructure lives on top of open source and they’re mostly fine then I’d imagine that you can make a scheduling webapp secure independent to if it’s OSS or not.

It’s OK if there’s another reason for this transition, just be transparent about it and don’t treat your users as children.

I've always used and advocated for Cal.com because it's open source. I understand you need to make money and this is no longer the GTM, but don't lie about it.
