I have a full time job and also maintain another significantly large open source project solo (Kuberhealthy), so my flags package for Go was often neglected despite having 850+ stars and being used in lazydocker and others. I had a lot of guilt about this, but now that I've been getting used to using AI, returning to this project to add the features I always wanted it to have (completion for shells) was doable from my couch with family and kids as a constant distraction.

I am optimistic that AI is a good thing for software and it's certainly made it possible for me to stay on top of my open source projects for the first time in many years.
