That was true before the "AI era" as well.

Well, yes.

Just now, any regular user can clone the repository and ask an LLM to tune it to his needs.

  • I never thought about this before, and it hasn’t been mentioned significantly in the vast amount of AI threads I read here. But it’s a really good point as skeptical as I am (in mid-2026) of AI first codebases

    • BTW, this is not an AI codebase :)

      It was mostly crafted by hand.

      Let's say, I've saved some "complexity space" for LLM to add features on top.

      In other words, the project has dumb-simple code right now, and it is ready to hold some amount of "tech-debt" from an LLM.
