AI is only really useful for making the simplest, smallest changes.

    Then it isn't useful, change my mind.

    I agree with you, but after reading this dev’s story, and knowing how much pressure people are under to at least try out these tools, I think we should all give the guy some slack.

    He’s been actively begging for other human contributors, but people only seem to have time to criticize him instead.

    What's depressing is that the number of people trolling him today is probably higher than the total number of people who actually contributed something (even just a bug report) in 30 years.

    There's no upside for him, even if he retires they'll probably continue harassing him.
