“Now, as AI grows more and more capable, we're figuring out what can be generated with AI and what can't. The coalescing point of open source software sticks to me as becoming more valuable than any: tests. It used to be that good documentation, strong contracts, well designed interfaces, and a comprehensive test suite meant users could trust your platform. Help you develop it further. That it was rigid and well designed. And yet, all of these things actually just make it easier for competing companies to re-build your work on their own foundations. No backwards compatibility, no stale ship of velocity. Prompt an AI to read all of their docs, import their tests, and change the foundation.”
