This sucks to hear.

I honestly think the rise of LLMs will be the death of open source in the long run. Already, apparently, quality of OSS has dropped significantly since 2025 (so most models stop training on github after this).

I don't think a lot of OSS authors quite understand the extent to which models like claude/codex rely on their work. I'd bet money there are extensive curated tasks using your tooling for post-training. With 0 attribution or anything, these models are using your work wholesale to build sophisticated agents that can do your job.

Yeah it's depressing as hell. I guess it's the same thing for artists and musicians and writers.

P.S. I can symphathise with the old house issues! I bought a 1901 terraced property, it's an absolute money pit.
