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.

He means other humans.

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