问HN:开源的未来是什么?
代理编码越来越多地将人类排除在选择库的过程之外。对我来说,这个过程一直有一些“人性化”的触感——你会查看库、关注核心维护者的社交媒体等。但随着人工智能的发展,开源项目的典型客户现在变成了AI代理。这实际上使得维护者为某个大型语言模型(LLM)编写代码,而不是为另一个人类编写代码。
我们已经看到一些热门仓库中涌现出大量的拉取请求(PR),尽管Tailwind被每个代理使用,但仍不得不裁员等。这让人感觉在已经竞争激烈的市场中造成了一些不平衡,而这种变化只会加速发展。
你对软件工程的自动化将如何影响开源有何看法?

Agentic coding increasingly removes humans from the process of picking libraries. To me it always had some "human" touch - you'd look at the library, core maintainers, follow them on social media, etc. But with AI the typical customer of an open source project is now an AI agent. Essentially making maintainers write code for some LLM model rather than another human being.<p>We've seen stories of a flood of PRs in popular repos, Tailwind having to cut staff despite being used by every agent, etc. It feels like it creates some disbalance in already tough market, and the change will only accelerate from here.<p>Any thoughts on how automation of software engineering will shape open source?
