User fears for future of coding amid LLM dominance and FOSS decline

A user expresses concern about the future of coding and the role of free and open-source software (FOSS) in the face of large language models (LLMs). The user, referencing Orosz, questions how individuals will be able to continue coding if development shifts entirely to LLM clouds and self-hostable, energy-efficient FOSS models become unavailable. This raises anxieties about the potential loss of niche roles for coders outside of the dominant LLM ecosystem. AI
