Even though I've written code for 15+ years, with 100s of pre-LLM open-source repositories, I am not really interested in the code itself. In fact, I'm very happy for an LLM to do that for me. What I deeply care about, however, is to build excellent open-source tools, and make them available to everyone. Tools that are as good or better than proprietary ones. I want to contribute to a world where people own their tech stack, and do not depend on the whims of a few capitalist actors. 8/9

Until recently, this would have required being a solid coder. Not anymore. I deeply believe that LLMs will empower people, like nothing before, to _own_ the technology they depend on. I wish the open-source community would realise that. LLM might disrupt today's open-source workflows, and force a deep transformation. But LLMs might also become an extremely powerful vector to support and expand the _idea_ of libre software. Let invent the processes, practices, tools to make that happen! 9/9
