I truly believe that LLMs are the worst thing that happened in IT over the recent years (or well, the culmination of the worst thing that's been poisoning the IT world), and I wholeheartedly support all the subversive actions against it, ranging from poisoning the training data to abusing support chatbots to make them unprofitable. However, at the same time I realize that all these actions are increasing the environmental harm caused by the #LLM folk.

It's like true guerrilla warfare. We're metaphorically burning down buildings, and I hate that it had to come to that.

This is such an end of an era that fresh Python programmers can’t even fathom.

PyPy used to be our hope! No major Python conference that didn’t suggest that they’re gonna fix the GIL and make time go backwards. And yeah, it’s really fast! I suspect the money-backed focus on performance in CPython combined with the compat paper cuts PyPy always came with has sealed its fate. I‘ve watched its decline over the years so I’m not surprised, but damn.

GitHub's slopocalypse made the open membership model untenable, but the cracks were older than that. I was the only roadie for the entire run and never managed to fix that. The full story, with 10 years of data and some honest reflection:
