So we're replacing open source collaborators with LLMs? And if someone wants to contribute you want the prompt, not the code?

For fucks sake, people. I've been slinging code for thirty years. I write much better code than a lot of folks (though some certainly write better). I also am capable of reviewing my own generated code and fixing it so you don't have to.

I get corporations trying to replace expensive coders with LLMs, but when volunteer work is being replaced by LLMs, what in the actual fuck are we even doing?

Who is this and why should we care what they think?

From their homepage: "I'm a long time Open Source user and contributor, a software engineer by profession and passion." Yes, so much passion that I mostly now tell a computer to do it for me, can't be bothered reading the existing code to understand it and I discourage others from putting effort in to learn and then contribute.

I think this article Agentic coding impact on oss is related. In this case the author is outright saying "don't submit PRs", but in many other cases authors are not catching up with PRs so people just fork.

All in all, I think the impact of LLMs in open source will likely be significant over time.

At first, I thought this about going to the gym.

"I have benefited from open-source before, but now discourage collaboration and only want clankers to submit code."

Get forked!

Well, fork you and fork off!
