Yeah, right. Good luck with that.

"A package’s value isn’t primarily its implementation code. Anyone can rewrite curl in Rust in a weekend, as Daniel Stenberg has heard many times. What they can’t rewrite is the twenty years of bug reports, the weird edge cases someone hit in production and took the time to fix, the arguments in issue threads that eventually settled on the right behavior. That knowledge is spread across the package’s history and it grew organically. No prompt captures it."

'A recent post by Marcelo Emmerich proposes replacing package managers with a “prompt registry.” Instead of publishing code, library authors would publish AI prompts.'
Also, the Wikipedia article about sniffing your own farts shows this guy's portrait.
