Here and there are posts about tailwind losing its revenue stream. And then people / post authors conclude open source is lost and spread FUD.

Do you think your projects die because of LLMs?

I only have public hobby projects, I am not afraid. I also try to donate to a lot of free software that I use or like.

Kind of reminds me of people saying a small mom and pop "failed" because all it did was feed people for 30 years and brought enough money in for them to raise a family.

Like damn, yeah maybe it's not the fucking stone henge but it probably did more for people today then the pile of rocks.
