Hayden Stainsby<p>I have this feeling lately that coding assistants are going to be the thing that kills free open source software.</p><p>It seems inevitable that competing coding assistants will end up creating their own libraries (or languages) to lock users in.</p><p>Not only will their models be better trained on their own stack, but competing platforms won’t be trained at all (or very little).</p><p>And since these platforms don’t give anything back to the community when a user asks a question, the incentive to share will keep dropping.</p><p>Open source thrives on being open. This fits in with free platforms like Stack Overflow.</p><p>But what happens when (any) new libraries are written or new languages are created and all the questions asked are of a proprietary model that considers the questions as well as the answers a trade secret?</p><p><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/ai" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ai</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/genai" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>genai</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/codingAssistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>codingAssistant</span></a></p>
