If you review libraries, why do you need to quick scan the issues? You would have already identified all the issues right? Right?

"he would love to mentor new maintainers for libxml2, ""but there simply aren't any candidates""
I know some folks from China, Russia, and North Korea who would love to become maintainers. No pay needed. I recommend Jia Tan - he has vast experience maintaining opensource software.

you fail to understand basic economics. states AND countries provide tax breaks to lure in businesses with certain agreements. In the long term, this provides jobs, training, benefits local economy, income taxes, raises property values, increases property taxes, etc.
And your tax contribution to would be %.0001. There are MANY things about the government to be infuriated at but this isn't one of them.

isn't this typical Microsoft behavior? Just look at Windows and how many components are forced upon you. Try uninstalling it, it just comes right back. Most of it, you can't even uninstall. Some you can't even unpin. That's a monopoly for you. And they steal your documents by making OneDrive the default so they can train their AI. It's malicious.

I'd argue that if you didn't buy the meat, somebody else did so your argument that it was "good for the world" lacks evidence.

I did intermittent fasting. I think this conditioned me to being in the hunger state and to ignore hunger. Along with exercise and portion control, I did lose 20 pounds. I could have gone further but I became lacking in certain nutrients and a doctor told me to stop.

so you never read the summary at the top of Google search results to get the answer because it provides the answer to most of my searches. "they don't improve my work experience" that's fair but perhaps you haven't really given it a try? "they don't improve the quality of my online interactions" but how do you know? LLMs are being used to create websites, generate logos, images, memes, art videos, stories - you've already been entertained by them and not even know it. "I don't think they improve the quality of the society I live in either" That's a feeling, not a fact.

No matter how good or fast you are, you will never beat the LLM. What you're saying is akin to "your math is faster than a calculator" and I'm willing to bet it's not. LLMs are not perfect and will require intervention and fixing but if it can get you 90% there, that's pretty good. In the coming years, you'll soon find your peers are performing much faster than you (assuming you program for a living) and you will have no choice but you do you.
