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.
Oh my friend, you can replace open source with AI. You can do it, especially if you don’t care about the consequences…
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.
