I still write and release open source software projects despite full well knowing they will likely have 0 users and that AI could replicate it in 1% the time I took. Doesn't matter. I do it cause programming is what I love to do. I think it's really sad that a lot of people have forgotten that's the purpose of doing this kind of stuff. It's not like we were ever gonna see a cent for it anyways. One of my projects was downloaded about 8000 times. That's nice. Too bad it's a project I discontinued because I no longer use it. No refunds!
