So the main point was just a canard (a decoy duck) being used to urge open source devs to use LLMs. Like a phony time-limited offer. I guess it's nice to clearly and openly admit to bullshitting the readers, but in that case why do it at all? Honesty would be simpler: the idea is simply that LLMs could help open source, and this metaphor about whales falling into sunny hayfields doesn't pertain. It's more like "make hay whenever you're ready".

Then we might ask whether the LLMs can indeed be used to make hay or just to make a mess. In principle, when faced with an overwhelming backlog of trivial work, an LLM ought to be a great solution, but much depends on the work genuinely being trivial.
