I mean... yes?

Maintaining software means looking at issues opened on github, keeping your own list of feature requests and bug fixes, deciding if and what to fix, deciding when to fix, and if you're lucky/cursed, reviewing PRs from randos. ANY of this means diverting attention from your day job/client work/kids/???.

Can some of this be theoretically automated by an LLM? Uh, maybe? But I'm not sure how much that would help.
