This particular brand of Hackernewsian condescension is unreal. I'd be amazed if it weren't so depressing. Please don't belittle someone's very real grievances like this, thank you.
Because AI bullshit is ruining everything we've ever loved?
Here's a good rule of thumb: any time you try to undo a billion years of evolution, there will probably be unintended side effects. Go to bed.

Some of us already have learned that lesson. Imagine how it feels to have to watch the same people touch the same hot stove over and over again. And people wonder why programmers quit and go into farming...
This is the end-stage of having third-party packaging systems without maintainers. This happens vanishingly infrequently for things like apt repositories, because the people maintaining packages are not necessarily the…
