From their homepage: "I'm a long time Open Source user and contributor, a software engineer by profession and passion." Yes, so much passion that I mostly now tell a computer to do it for me, can't be bothered reading the existing code to understand it and I discourage others from putting effort in to learn and then contribute.

Who is this and why should we care what they think?
People send you code because they need functionality, not to help you with "overall coding". And they do it because they need it now, not when (and if) you will make that functionality on your own.
But ok. You don't want code, you'll stop receiving it. Not like we can force you to use it.
Farewell.
So we're replacing open source collaborators with LLMs? And if someone wants to contribute you want the prompt, not the code?
For fucks sake, people. I've been slinging code for thirty years. I write much better code than a lot of folks (though some certainly write better). I also am capable of reviewing my own generated code and fixing it so you don't have to.
I get corporations trying to replace expensive coders with LLMs, but when volunteer work is being replaced by LLMs, what in the actual fuck are we even doing?
