That's not how the licenses are written. The licenses state if you change something you must give back, AI learning from Opensourced code is no different than a human doing the same other than at a faster rate. If you GPLed your code you can't expect anything back from anyone who uses AI to write code that is not a modification of your code. MIT licenses say do what you want with this code, so the rule applies even more to them.

I fork projects to keep my own copy cause I forget where I find things, if you don't want your project forked don't put it somewhere where it can get forked.

As someone who has been a software for 30+ years, and who now uses Claude to do 90% of their work I disagree that it is killing open source. I've not once in 30 years had the time or the energy to make an opensource project. Since using Claude I have made 3, all GPL2 Licensed. They are small, not world changing, but it has empowered me to give back somehow. Opensource projects use to be passion projects, until people went to monetize them.

Stackoverflow. Let's be honest, 75% of what was there was crap, how many times have you thought you found the answer to your question just to find out it was wrong. With Claude if I am stuck on a bug, I give it the error, I give it the file the code is in, and 99 times out of 100 it can fix it in seconds vs me spending an hour or two trying to find the solution. Stackoverflow was great in the beginning but over time it stopped being useful.

Grift huh? I've been doing this for 30 years. I don't code anymore, I am using claude, and if you use it correctly, you'll see it's not a grift.

Of all the formats why did they choose cassette? Just buy the digital music, put it on your device, and go. No shitty cassette experience. Backup the files on a long term hard disk that sits in a drawer unused except when you buy new music.

What kind of crack are you smoking when you're reading plain English, also Plain English has semi-colons.

Came to say the same thing, but I am actually opposite in that I think that Jellyfin UI is better, and it is also customizable.

On what you are maintaining, and how you approach it. The code I maintain, if I need to add new functionality to a function, and I can describe it to claude easily enough then I'll tell claude code what file, what function add a marker where I want the code and explain what I want. I don't let it just edit on it's own I have it show me what it wants to do, and if it looks good I'll have them do it.

Just telling claude hey add this functionality to my code base, and hoping it gets it right, which from what I am understanding seems a lot of people are doing, is a good way to get bad results.

... but now Jira has an AI that summarizes the entire ticket into bullet points at the top, and it's fairly accurate and really useful. Claude when fed documentation that I don't understand will clarify it and summarize it for me as well, it makes my dysfunction less dysfunctional.

We built a philanthrapic startup and did exactly that, we had every 503C on record in a database and built pages for all of them to take donations on their behalf, let it sit in our bank for a bit and then send it their way. Then the 2008 collapse happened and well we our little startup fell apart...

so how do I install npm packages I need for development?

call us Americans stupid. All this push from EU to limit food naming. So dumb.

How is SQL even on a list of "programming" languages. it's a query language not a programming language.
