alt Hacker NewsI'm curious: in the age of AI, where you can literally tell your clankers to work on something, why do you even care about the longevity of open source projects? There are several projects that are abandoned, and I have resurrected them for my own use cases without any issues.
By the same reasoning, why should I care about the output of someone else’s clanker if I can just get it from my own clanker?
But to answer your question, I do still care about software being maintained by someone who can make design decisions instead of just yielding control to bots who tend to produce mediocre designs.
