Gregory's Server@inthehands It’s still purely anecdotal on my part, based on conversations and observations. It’s still to early to be sure, but I think that for some people, LLMs are fulfilling demand that OSS used to. The question is just how big that group is.

That part is anecdotal, and it’s an open question how long lived it is. There’s also a family of partly theoretical questions: What are models trained on once people start using models to write code? Do they propagate expertise from experts to newcomers? Do they create a kind of model in breeding and degenerate? Do they •prevent• the creation of new tools?
I have serious doubts about the sustainability of even the current very mixed success of LLMs for code.
