That’s right. My concern is also that LLM users may shadow skilled programmers in the short term, potentially devaluing their skills or putting some of them out of a job, at least until the LLM-built code starts shitting itself and they crawl back to actual programmers for help.
Vibe coders wishfully think AI could be the end product. AI is a tool, it should never be the final product nor exposed to the user.
It’s a fancy autocomplete to throw ideas against, you still need to know what the fuck you’re doing, and vibe coders have no clue. This means we’re now concerned about a rise in vulnerable code.
black0ut@pawb.social is right, you have no idea what you’re talking about.
Open-source software development can be very slow sometimes. It’s not about speed, it’s about expertise. Like I said previously, they likely hold a day job besides developing Lemmy.
I’ve been in the open-source scene for about a decade, it takes a LOT of developers or a corporate sponsor to do any work long-time. Products live and die because volunteers run out of time and / or interest.
Again, I invite you to fork Lemmy yourself and maintain it faster than the original devs could. Put your money where your mouth is.
This is very standard in the open-source world. No matter what you may think of the developers’ personal opinions, their work is valuable.
Also, asking for donations is not “profiting off of us(sic)”, nor is it a salary, it’s just a text prompt hoping you’ll give the devs a kickback for their contribution. You can just ignore it and go about your day.
They likely don’t make enough to live off of from those donations.
How convenient.
