The comments are worth reading.

Are they? I've read them and they mostly just made me feel like shit.

The amount of drive-by hate being thrown at project maintainers of an open source project is depressing.

		I guess both things can be true. Make you feel horrible and the reality of open source sometimes.

The comments are definitely not worth reading. It’s a very sad thread, you literally had to go through all of them to find one that wasn’t about hate and stating some facts about the issues of the code.

		I found them worth reading for the following set of thoughts came up: - programmers had problems with delivering quality long before LLM’s - very much research and tools went into that, bringing us {Git, libraries, VSCode, reviews, …,} but the human factor stayed the same (and more pronounced imho than in other fields of engineering) - LLMs democratized programming, enhancing a few, dropping the bottom to no skill programming - the tools and practices created for the quality problems from the past turn out to be wholly incapable of maintaining quality in the present The main problem behind this is that those delivering the QA tools of the past are central in the AI race. Old school engineering would separate these concerns.

People are saying they detect a lot of "hate" in these comments which I don't see or agree with at all. People clearly have negative opinions about this and they're expressing them rather openly but to confuse this with actual "personal hate" seems like an equally overcharged response.

When you do anything publicly, even something that's considered a 'public good' like contributing to open source, you are opening yourself to the full tide of humanity for better or for worse. The overwhelming majority of the time it's for the better, occasionally, and in response to unpopular decisions, it's for worse.

What you shouldn't do is take any of this personally. It's open source. You have permission to take a break, you have permission to directly ignore issues and users, you have permission to do whatever makes _you_ happy.

If your goal is to receive unremitting love and adoration from a crowd of strangers then you're going to be bitterly disappointed... no matter how you occupy yourself.

Counterpoint: don't read the comments
