The major contention some with wisdom have with ai is it makes the genuine 10x and 20x engineers into 80x engineers and 250x engineers but it makes the mediocre engineers exponentially worse.
We're also collectively contending with more than one generation of contributors who don't know how what they started with got to where it was and carry a mindset of "this is how things should be done", and then we reach moments where a lot of the smarter people collectively talked enough about to realize: oh, the rest of us built three decades on stupidity of what was called OOP (and not real OOP according to some) because categorization meme caught on and was taught in school as the way.
There does need to be heterogeneity where some corners refrain from taking what could be irreversible steps.
Renovation of the core parts of the BSDs, illumos, and Linux with CompCert C or something like it using LLMs, done by the right hands, will be interesting.
I would love to see ZFS on OpenBSD ; if only the necessary talent wasn't preoccupied.
