If writing the code is the easy part, why would I want someone else to write it?

Found myself nodding along. I think increasingly it's useful to think of PRs from unknown external people as more like an issue than a PR (kind of like the 'issue first' policy described in the article).

There's actually something very valuable about a user specifying what they want using a working solution, even if the code is not mergeable.

Writing code was always the easy part!

Getting code to work though..

He means other humans.

The stupid point it makes is "since we have AI now, why even accept human contributions to a FOSS project?"
