These are the principles I follow: indieweb.org/make_what_you_need indieweb.org/use_what_you_make I don’t have time to argue with FOSS creators to get my stuff in their projects, nor do I have the energy to maintain a personal fork of someone else’s work. It’s much faster for me to start up Claude and code a very bespoke system just for my needs. I don’t like web UIs nor do I want to run stuff in a Docker container. I just want a scriptable CLI application. Like I just did a subtitle translation tool in 2-3 nights that produces much better quality than any of the ready made solutions I found on GitHub. One of which was an *arr stack web monstrosity and the other was a GUI application. Neither did what I needed in the level of quality I want, so I made my own. One I can automate like I want and have running on my own server.

And if the maintainer doesn’t agree to merge your changes, what to you do then? You have to build your own project, where you get to decide what gets added and what doesn’t.

There have been some articles published positing that AI coding tools spell the end for FOSS because everybody is just going to do stuff independently and don’t need to share with each other anymore to get things done. I think those articles are short sighted, and missing the real phenomenon that the FOSS community needs each other now more than ever in order to tame the LLMs into being able to write stories more interesting than “See Spot run.” and the equivalent in software projects.
