    @mhoye I think the availability of robo-coding also lowers the casual contributor bar for fixing the couple problems they care about in a way sufficient for their own use, while the work to contribute upstream does not. A hostile upstream culture will just mean those changes get orphaned, or more forks or entirely new projects. That is not to say this is good, but the relative costs are shifting in a significant way.

    @mirth Well that'll lower the overall quality of software, even if there isn't a hostile upstream culture and ai seen as just a tool*. It may be significant but that doesn't mean it'll last all that long, the titanic was pretty significant...

    * It isn't
