“A package’s value isn’t primarily its implementation code. Anyone can rewrite curl in Rust in a weekend. What they can’t rewrite is the twenty years of bug reports, 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 [AI] prompt captures it.”
