I am incredibly eager to see what affordable coding agents can do for open source :) in fact, I should really be giving away CheepCode[0] credits to open source projects. Pending any sort of formal structure, if you see this comment and want free coding agent runs, email me and I’ll set you up!

[0] My headless coding agents product, similar to “assign to copilot” but works from your task board (Linear, Jira, etc) on multiple tasks in parallel. So far simple/routine features are already quite successful. In general the better the tests, the better the resulting code (and yes, it can and does write its own tests).

Oh, we know exactly what they will do: they will drive devs insane: https://www.reddit.com/r/ExperiencedDevs/comments/1krttqo/my...

I dunno, looking through those issues I'd be more annoyed by all the randos grandstanding in my PRs.

Especially since the EU just made open source contributors liable for cybersecurity (Cyber Resilience Act). Just let AI contribute and ur good

Didn’t they make an exception for open-source projects? https://opensource.org/blog/the-european-regulators-listened...
