Right.

And the problem is that is kind of taken away.

That motivation is taken away because, again, it's so easy to produce the code.

You can have an agent do it.

And the maintainers don't want to take your code anymore because they're getting slammed with a bunch of garbage from whoever.

So I think what we'll see most likely is a lot of like open source projects that, again, are like open source, but closed contribution.

And they're developed entirely by one person or they're developed by maybe a very small group of people and people.

If it's good, what I expect is you'll actually see very complex pieces of software that are very good, that have a high quality, that are, again, just a couple of developers working with agents to produce a result that is better than what you get if you just asked an agent to write it on its own.

So maybe the rise of the single developer open source project.

Yeah, he was the one I was thinking of for sure.

But I've heard that from other people too.

I actually haven't talked to Andrew Lamb, who is the PMC for Data Fusion and Parquet and Arrow.

He's on our team.

And basically, he runs those projects.

And he's definitely made rules for PRs, rules for using AI in your PRs along the way.

But I haven't yet heard him complain that he's just getting completely... I mean, he's getting slammed.

Before the ASF, he was getting slammed just because those projects are like...

you know, he's so on top of them and he's getting so much like momentum with people contributing.

Yeah, I think one, as a project, it has super high visibility.

It's super, super popular and it's an end user project.
