Perhaps the uncritical use of LLMs in our FOSS ecosystem is a symptom of burnout in our maintainers and projects.

@onepict perhaps a lot of the motivation behind FOSS was only ever to signal virtue to (potential) employers, and now those same employers want you to be proficient at using LLMs.

@michiel FOSS has a long history of shadow IT behind the back of hostile work environment and corrupt managers (that's what I call someone who accepts gifts and goodies from MS or Oracle).
