| I don’t really care that the things I make will invariably be scooped up and ingested into the training data. It’s rather that I think we all ought to stop making software that is primarily useful to businesses, because there is no more joy in that with AI-written PRs driving maintainers into burnout.
Big tech finally has no more excuses as to why they don’t maintain all the bedrock libraries themselves. So I say, let them do that. And on the other hand, since anyone can vibe code something now, the value of GitHub projects as CV material has gone down significantly, so I’d expect less people to do that. Good! Open Source as a community, as a movement, doesn’t need these people. Let’s get back to the roots. |

this might be true but the effect doesn't seem to translate, if you go by github difficulties to accomodate growth this past year, people are putting those vibe coded repos onto github, even if the signal vs noise ratio is much greater now, that only means you get more shitty repos vs non shitty now |

| > Do you think AGPL is going to stop a crawler from incorporating your work into their training set? No, but i propose we ostracize anyone who uses LLMs for the wrong reasons (i.e. not accessibility), and i hope you do too. The reasons are mostly not related to licenses, though, but it upholds licensing as a nice-to-have consequence. (loved your comment edit) |

Better adapt and see how you can turn the tool to do your bidding rather than try to piss against the wind in the hope the wind changes direction the next 5 seconds. It won’t. |

| That's kinda how I'm thinking about this in terms of licenzing my upcoming projects. The code is just going to be laundered anyways, so why bother putting on a license like AGPL that might just hinder adoption? |

| ▲ | edoceo a day ago | parent | next [-] | | I went through similar thoughts. Settled on just dropping everything under MIT. I'm using AI assistance a bunch, nothing fully vibe coded (yet) so what's it really matter? My "novel" approach to BOM line item attributes? | |

| Thanks for leaving it up! I'm on the perimeter of the HN community generally, but one observation is that what you said is present in a lot of discussions here. Kind of an "insistent powerless". I wonder if sentiment analysis over the years would show this is on the rise at HN. As a long time reader it seems like it is to me, but it could certainly be my own bias etc. I work on climate solutions and find it in a lot of the threads here. It generally sounds like "Not only am I powerless, you are also powerless too", and it comes up in all sorts of ways. |

| What a thread. Maybe there is hope for the internet? |
