A.I. and vibe coding destroy open source | The Linux Experiment

Wouldn’t dare doing that. I mostly saying that a white paper doesn’t mean it’s the holy truth. I haven’t checked who they are, maybe they do FOSS but I haven’t be able to quickly find out but if they’re outside of the industry, I am not sure how valuable their opinion is. Mine is subjective for sure but I also been in the thick of it, seen friends around me and experienced it myself over the years. So yeah, just my personal 2cts. At the same time, I do know amazing people. They are even more productive as of today and still continue to be self-sustained thanks to their FOSS work, while using AI daily to speed up their workflow. Without any drop in quality or anything alike. FOSS was anyway, hard to study in a lab. And most people succeeding in the fields are abnormalities, not the norm. But sure, AI is also adding a lot of noise/slope and nonsense to the daily work of tons of people. Nothing new here, things are just going as they always have been, just faster it being in the wrong or correct direction. But anyway, FOSS is a huge topic and I might agree/disagree with specific parts of the statement given a specific scope. Even more, I wouldn’t call every Twitter vibe-coder hype bro to be a FOSS contributor of any sort so we even need to agree on the definition of open source here: no, having a public repo on Github doesn’t make you a FOSS maintainer out of thin air.
