Searching for the next "claw", Booklore goes nuclear, and sourdough starters

@shollyethan it’s really a sad time with all the witch hunt around who use AI to develop their own app in an open source application they are not forced to use

As a dev I build project for my personal use with AI in days instead of month to solve problems I have, they are publicly available if someone stumble upon them, and they are definitely not perfect but they exist. Without AI ? They probably would have never existed

Alright enough rambling for today and thanks for the newsletter

@azsiaz @shollyethan I think that's a really weird take on the nature of popular open source projects. Booklore has nearly 100 different contributors. This is an active and engaged community of people making something where one person has suddenly started making decisions that others disagree with.

No one is coming after you for your projects.

@alex @shollyethan Sorry I should have been more explicit, the witch hunt itself is the issue.

And 100 contributors or not it’s his project and he is the one in control of his project for better or for worse for those who contributed real time to a project. And it’s the beauty of it, nothing is preventing them to fork, I am sure a lot of people would be happy to switch to it
