Like I don't get it: I see people in FOSS use these tools, and I just have so much trouble wrapping my head around it. I get people who hate their job using it, but how can you not feel horrendous about subjecting people to horrendous shit like this on a software project that's intended to do good for people?
Why do you not care about the stress you're putting on those around you? Why are you in this job?

When your employer asks you to try a tool: you can say no. In fact, by not saying no you are negatively affecting the people around you if you already know the consensus is against using the tool.

@Lyude I have many thoughts and one is "how can I trust upstream maintainers if they get stuff like that dictated by their employer"

@karolherbst You can't, and that's fucking upsetting because I'm certain that is what they are trying to do. Some investors have money both in IBM/Red Hat and OpenAI, and they are getting upset that red hat isn't buying enough shit from openAI or whatever so now they just want to force as many people into using it as possible to make it become standard and to make it so people can't trust that others don't use the tooling
I really wanted to be nice about this before but I can't. We cannot, in full seriousness, allow anything like this when the extremely clear and obvious intent is to turn programming into a paid service. That is not in the interest of FOSS.

@karolherbst Not only that, people notice. I've had people in furry chats literally all over the fucking place talking about systemd introducing claude code reviews.
People keep pretending this shit is seen as professional, but actual real people are looking at this and starting to lose trust.

@Lyude because alot of the time FOSS is maintained by capitlaist forces .. rather than individuals, but it gives off the illusion that its maintained by individuals .. or i dont know probably something like that
