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.

If I can replace an open source project with shitty AI scripts, what is that project actually even doing?

Not defending the ethics of AI, but shit like “left-pad” and other low hanging packages shouldn’t exist.

What is "left-pad"? If it does what I think it does, doing that with a LLM would be very wasteful.

EDIT: I remember the event now. Obviously you wouldn't use a dependency for that. I think I understood your comment now anyway.
