> My last few projects are still stored as private repos because I do not want them to be gobbled up by LLMs for junior, expendable and cheaper devs to replace me, especially when I am exploring novel problem-spaces. I'll try to be gentle, pardon me in advance. 1) Your problem space is probably not novel enough to warrant such preciousness. 2) "Junior, expendable and cheaper devs" don't compete with Senior+ because they don't know how to even ask the right questions. And they don't possess enough soft skills to navigate hard projects. 3) But let's suppose that you do indeed have IP that's more valuable to humanity than the CRUD crap we are paid to spit out on a daily basis: We will all die, and it can happen anytime now, why risk having your contribution die with you? Even if you setup posterous access to other people, there's risk no one cares enough to dig your code. Heck, this is what PhDs are about, pushing humanity knowledge ceiling just a bit higher. And even those that do, barely get enough attention. 4) Fighting AI is like trying to boil the ocean. We won't make a difference.
