That doesn't seem like a great take on this. You seem to be implying that only unemployed people choose not to use AI, and anything that doesn't use AI is a useless toy project.

There were decades of software written before modern LLMs, and a lot of people choose to hand write their software as a form of maintaining their skill. Just like people practice martial arts even though we have guns.

If you reflect on your words, you might see another side to this.

Yes, that's exactly it. Now please go back to your githubs and leave us nerds who do not matter alone. We'll be fine, we promise!

Funny enough if you read their blogpost on this, they don't want people with useless toy projects, they want projects with communities...(subtext: to leech off of).

That blog post while on the LLM topic also started throwing the OSS bathwater out and went straight-on leech mode in between the lines.
