Seems like reading the code is now the real work. AI writes PRs instantly but reviewing them still takes time. Everything flipped. Expect more projects to follow - maintainers can just use ai themselves without needing external contributions.

Understanding (not necessarily reading) always was the real work. AI makes people less productive because it's speeding up the thing that wasn't hard (generating code), while generating additional burden on the thing that was hard (understanding the code).

Question:

Which is harder, writing 200 lines of code or reading 200 lines of code someone else wrote.

I pretty firmly find the latter harder, which means for me AI is most useful for finessing a roughly correct PR rather than writing the actual logic from scratch.
