alt Hacker NewsI love this new AI era of coding where the HN submission is about a new way to manage agent, and almost literally all the comments are "I just finished implementing this myself" It's almost like a parody.

This is something I've noticed more widely and is something I think we're going to have to grapple with sooner or later. If anyone can make any software, what happens to our shared computing reality? Now one can steal features from 3 or 4 similar projects and compose exactly what I want, and there are now 5 similar projects.
Similarly, I've already had many issues with project shunning me because I come with AI assisted code, no matter the quality of the contribution. With NixOS it's extremely simple to carry patches, and I do this with a number of projects (k3s, kata, Ardour).
It feels like long-term forks are something we're going to have to accept as the new reality, and find some way to weave together in a new way, rather than as just an escape hatch to route around maintainer issues.
