LLM anti-pattern:

- #FOSS drops, everyone happy
- #FOSS bugs surface, bitrot needs handling
- Instead of contributing fixes, users use #LLM to solve their specific issues
- #FOSS never gets fixed

Bonus: bugs accumulate so much that the project eventually dies, while everyone regenerates parts of it from scratch on-demand with LLM.

@buherator the sharp version is when the LLM fix never makes it back as a PR, so the next person regenerates the same patch against the same bug six months later.

@eduzsh when you do an LLM "fix", "works for me" is good enough and you don't have to consider any of the contribution requirements (like not introducing bugs at places you don't personally use). so I think it's more likely that people will churn out a bunch of fixes that are slightly wrong in different ways. it is true that while some of the fixes will be fine, they'll never make it back to the project anyway.
