personally I think that phenomena says more about the messaging of the protestors -- on either side, really -- than the true state of things.

now having read it :

1) I don't feel disgusted at novice vibe-coded games. I think it's fun to see people finally have the barrier to entry of programmable computing lifted in front of my eyes.

2) the whole thing reads like gatekeeping. I don't care about your intimate relationship with your extra limb. I'm good at using a hammer, but I welcome improvements. I don't think the next hammer is going to somehow diminish the sanctity of the hammerers union and their divine holy act.

3) Have fun with all the zillions of anti - AI forks. I wish the best , but I have been around the block to know where the future is headed. It's going to be increasingly hard to keep up with the features and bug squashing of AI empowered groups, and crowds are going to move to where the experience is better and the corporations point, not where the ethics lie.

This is one of those losing anti-coporation RMS style fights that I hope the best for, but only a fool would be unable to read the writing on the walls.
