The reason a lot of these enterprises are looking to offload developers is because they see AI as accelerating their workforce. These businesses are doing the same thing as they were before, but with AI, which means they don’t have enough workload to justify having that many people on anymore (as long as they are using AI workloads). If one developer with AI can do the work of 3 to 10 developers without AI the logic is that they can have their developer headcount and still be ahead.

Not that I agree with what they’re doing, but this is the logic behind it.

As if some megacorporation doesn’t have the money to pay for it themselves and instead has to rely on corporate welfare from the local municipality.

Why are the municipal police insuring Walmart’s bottom line using taxpayer dollars?

Do not bring AI review tools into pull requests.

As someone who operates an internal AI code review platform for a large engineering org. Trust me, you want this.

There are countless defects that regularly slip by human review. It’s one of the few places that AI adds immediate, low-risk value.

That aside, though, this is unfortunate. And the author and maintainer of these packages is entirely within their rights to do this as a form of protest.

Absolutionist policies aren’t helpful.
