  They’re all slopcode apps now. Most companies made it mandatory.

  I try to not be hostile towards AI-assisted FOSS projects, but I remain incredibly wary of it for this reason (it being abandonedware) and because if the dev themselves don’t know why they have a piece of code in their project how can I trust that there’s not some obvious security holes. Like yes, it’s FOSS, “so you can check it yourself,” and if I’m seriously considering using the software then I will do a cursory code-review. But I do enough of that in my day-job (and at least I get paid for this), I don’t want to do it with my hobby too. I’m just so tired of all this AI/LLM nonsense to the point where it’s been months since I’ve added anything to my little homelab or have even bothered checking out any of the new projects coming out

  So what? The important datapoint is the number of new successful projects, not the number of the abandoned ones.

    You meant “the number of new projects that will soon be abandoned”.
