It's unclear how LLMs will affect open source.

It's possible that we've been in a golden age of open source that is coming to a close.

Before the difficulty of making the software was larger than maintaining it and dealing with PRs and issues.

But now, it's way easier to create, and the maintenance cost on a relative basis goes way up.

That reduces the push to publish open source software.

But as a user, it's still nice to know that a given chunk of code is battle-hardened and effective for others.
