personally feel totally confident that within 2 years that standards will change so that responsible open source dev = "1,000 concurrent but loosely coordinated checkouts of your repo undergoing agentic work at all times" some will still be human directed or even human written, but not most

there will still be hand-crafted human repos but they'll be seen like repos that don't have a lot of stars, don't have licenses, don't have supply chain security, don't have maintainers

neither people nor agents will want to use these hand-rolled repos. even if they need the ideas in them they'll prefer to reimplement from scratch, and as table stakes, add on a mindboggling number of security and reliability features only paralleled by what the largest companies can maintain today

this isn't even a really "you will be left behind" thing, because anyone will be able to migrate to that kind of workflow. it will be an easier workflow than today's workflows!
