I'm sure there are people in this category, but there's also the other category who just want their stuff to work, and now can as AI to do it, without having to follow stupid processes (try contributing to QT...) or arguing for months.

A ton of these "process" cruft is unneeded and gate-keeping in companies.

But in open-source- process is unpaid for sparse- and the gate-keepers usually have excellent reasons to merge changes not back. If they don't - they are forked.

The reason being that while the software generated "solves" your problem, it generates problems for everyone else using the project.

Like demanding a elevator cabin be tailored to your preferences, ignoring all the other buildings using elevator cabins, to which it no longer is compatible for example.
