  • From a developer standpoint you’re taking someone’s baby, cloning it into a language they don’t understand and deprecating the original. Worse, if you’re not actually interested in taking over the project you’ve now made it abandonware because the original developer lost heart and the person looking for commit counts on GitHub has moved on.

    Obviously these extremes don’t always apply, but a lot of open source relies on people taking a personal interest. If you destroy that, you might just destroy the project.

    There seems to be a lot of recent articles attacking datacenters, particularly those involved in LLM “ai” work. This feels like one of those articles.

    I’m not saying we shouldn’t keep them in check, but I also don’t like being manipulated by “grass roots initiative” marketing companies, particularly on Lemmy.
