Here and there are posts about tailwind losing its revenue stream. And then people / post authors conclude open source is lost and spread FUD.

Do you think your projects die because of LLMs?

I only have public hobby projects, I am not afraid. I also try to donate to a lot of free software that I use or like.

It's being badly damaged by thousands of lazy AI-written merge requests to the extent that many have stopped accepting them entirely.

It's also effectively DDOS'ing many open source sites (and the rest of the open internet), straining what limited funding they have.

So I would say a resounding yes.
