> Does the project have an inclusive code of conduct?

If you want a project to be community driven, adding an agreement that empowers its leaders to punish and exclude any community member for any reason, including reasons that have nothing to do with the project itself, is the opposite of that.

Codes of conduct result in dictator-driven projects, not community-driven projects.

> Slowly, more and more user accounts get banned, and even technical people I know fail to make a new account which lasts more than 3-4 days.

Meanwhile bots are running rampant and I can't scroll through the site for 10 minutes without seeing an obvious bot post or comment. Dead internet is real.

> The median new plugin used to end up with a couple thousand installs. It's now 28.

This feels like a microcosm of software development as a whole.

There's more software than ever, yet there are fewer people engaging with said software than ever, and the good software gets buried under a giant pile of crap.

Might be easier to list the things AI isn't ruining.

> it's a huge savings over getting a human to do it

This of course assumes it's something anyone would consider worth paying a human to do (it's not).

Does DeepSeek offer a heavily subsidized subscription that provides 20x+ more usage than the equivalent value in API tokens?

API usage being profitable is completely plausible, but almost nobody pays API prices for Claude and GPT, nor would they be able to afford them if the subscription suddenly stopped existing.

> I, and many of my friends and cooks could take this easily.

No, you couldn't.

> The difference is that PHP has a long history of vulnerabilities while platforms like Java don't.

What makes you say that? I know several websites that ran on unpatched PHP 5 versions for over a decade, without a care in the world until now, because there were no known serious vulnerabilities in the interpreter itself.

Strange to see this so far down the front page. If the rumors are true, it may be worse than Log4Shell.

So excited that you avoid writing a single line of it at all costs.

Trying to slow down the growth would be an admission that everyone having their AI agents pushing 500 commits per hour autonomously may not be an objectively good thing for everyone involved. They won't do that.

Linus thinks AI is no different from a compiler, so it's likely that none of these commits are being reviewed. After all, how often do you doubt your compiler's output?

Honestly, who isn't bragging about their vibecoding tokenmaxxing attitude nowadays?

They do this on Reddit as well. Some accounts post about news and events with an image attached, and just so happen to include a reference to Polymarket somewhere in the image every time, even when it makes no sense.
