The training path still exists, its just up to developers just need to take it.
And script kiddies have always existed and contributed to OS. There has never been a “you must be this clever/qualified/awesome to contribute” bar.
If anything, AI may actually raise the bar for some developers…
This is bar none the dumbest take I’ve heard about AI yet.
Have you read some of the absolute garbage that open source developers have put out? Not every developer is a code genius, there are some complete cowboys out there.
AI may not make you or I better, but for some people, it definitely does make them much more capable, even if they aren’t still at the level that we’d prefer.
It kind of doesn’t though, if only for the fact that companies aren’t hiring juniors anymore because they just put their former workloads on everyone else because AI
Thats a concern in the corporate world, but open source has been built on generations of enthusiasts learning as they go. If they managed to learn and develop their skills 20years ago without AI, then they can still do that today.
My most successful project is a python and later rust project that I started long before I ever touched either language professionally.
