alt Hacker NewsThis is only going to get worse with LLMs. Now people can "contribute" garbage code at 10x the speed. We're entering the era of the "read only" maintainer focused on self-defense.

...that assumes LLMs will contribute garbage code in the first place. Will they, though?

I’ve seen it already where someone has set some fully automated agent at the GitHub issues and machine gunned PRs every minute for every reported issue. Likely never looked at or tested by the submitter.
Even if they worked, it would be easier for the maintainer to just do that themselves rather than review and communicate with someone else to resolve issues.
