Reviewing code was also a big bottleneck. With lot more untested code where authors don't care about reviewing their own code it will take even more toll on open source maintainers. Code quality between side projects and open source projects are different. Ensuring good code quality enables long term maintenance for open source projects that have to support the feature through the years as a compatibility promise.

That's where pair programming came in but it turns out that most people hate each other so much that they'd rather work with a machine pretending to be a person.

I realize there are many levels to this claim but I'm not being sarcastic at all here.

Using an LLM is a form of pair programming.

Not sure how to respond to this as clearly that's what I was getting at. Perhaps this is a response from an LLM though. Again, not being sarcastic, it just seems like it's maybe the case?

Not really, LLMs do not push back on design decisions and will happy continue with whatever prompt you throw at them. That’s after we look past quality isssues.

Yeah, akin to talking to a rubber ducky

		I like to agree as sorta yes but also really no because it's a rubber ducky that doesn't give you the chance to come to your own conclusion and even if it does it has you questioning it.
