> why should a project maintainer spend time reviewing and discussing that PR as opposed to firing up their own LLM to solve the same problem?
perhaps that's what the maintainers should be doing after all. it still takes time and tokens, though; neither is free.
I'd personally rather have the maintainers spend the time writing as much docs and specs as possible so the future LLMs have strong guardrails. zig's policy will be completely outdated in a couple years, for better or worse. someone will take bun's fork, add a codegen improvement here, add a linker improvement there and suddenly you'll have a better, faster zig outside of zig.
