I feel like "I built" has a level of pompousness implied that I think is correlated with AI bros. I'd normally use a verb like "made". I know it's a synonym but it seems less tooting-your-own-horn in connotation. I don't think I've naturally said in a sentence that I "built" a tool.

Before I get strawmanned, no I don't think there's anything wrong with saying you built something. I'm mentioning that there's a minor difference in connotation that leads to one verb correlating with vibe-coding. That's all.

They say nothing at all.

We're entering a low trust era. I suspect there's going to be less sharing and collaboration. Between dealing with entitlement, harassment of devs, slop code PRs etc...what incentive do FOSS devs have to share anything? Near zero.

We're going to see siloing on one end and people using AI on the other to make their own shit for themselves. Everything else in the middle will be a no man's land.

Big tech was already hoarding, FOSS was already under pressure from VC-backed "open core" bait-and-switch models, and maintainer burnout was already a crisis. Now we get to deal with the FuckAI crowd asking "papers please" every 5 mins too?

Thanks, but no thanks. I'll make for me and mine or if I'm getting paid. No good deed goes unpunished.

I brought XXXXX into existence

I said "I made" when I released a project I made about a month ago, but I fear that has been co-opted by the vibecoders now too.
