PHP/Laravel have something similar to this now called Livewire https://laravel-livewire.com/
The author, Caleb Porzio (https://calebporzio.com/), was inspired by Phoenix LiveView to build something something like this for his preferred language/framework.

Open source gives engineers better frameworks and components to use so you can develop better apps than if you started from scratch on your own.
It still takes engineers to use the frameworks even if they are open source.
I think open source and the web have created more jobs rather than reducing them.
With open source you can learn from existing projects, pull in projects to your work to save time.
This time savings can be used to create and improve other custom features in what you are building.
If anything I would say open source is creating jobs and empowering developers to learn new techniques, create better apps and level up in knowledge and earning power.
I think it's also allowing people to get in to programming that wouldn't have a chance otherwise if you had to pay for every framemork/tool you wanted to use so open source creating more opportunities than it's reducing.
And open source can be a full time job.

I think open source is great for the industry/world.
So many amazing frameworks, tools, packages out there.
Kudos to everyone who maintains an open source project.
