And that's great for you but I still think you'll be in a minority. Which is not necessarily bad of course.

Open Source devs mostly come from the industry and the penetration of agentic coding in the industry has been massive over the last six months. I don't think I've ever seen anything of this scale.

    minority or not. I'm not going to make excuses to just "join in" when there's heavy implications of licensing violations and poor ethical practices surrounding the implementation of slopware.

    I'll never use AI in the development of a project because it goes against every single principal that drives me. AI is my arch enemy, the antithesis of my whole being.

    Oh man believe me I'm all for it. I totally understand having an approach of engineering that is not bankable or tailored for Californian degen culture.

    I'm not saying there's anything wrong with your stance. Just saying it will become an aesthetic niche just like there's some people who still track music on magnetic tape when it would be exponentially faster to use cubase.

    I don't have your specific axe to grind against AI but my personal angle is to only use old hardware and make software that runs on it.

    Not everything has to be superlative, and self imposed constraints are great for quality of life.
