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.
E.g. this https://programming.dev/post/43810907 or https://programming.dev/post/45292081
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.
Thanks to AI there will the thousands of left-pad like projects
Hopefully it means trivial 6 line functions just get written inline in your project.
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.
Oh my friend, you can replace open source with AI. You can do it, especially if you don’t care about the consequences…
