How AI Is Expanding Who Gets to Build Infrastructure - DevOps.com

Baron traces the origin story back to his time building high-scale systems at Instana (which exited to IBM in 2020), where the reality of "always-on" platforms made one thing obvious: the tooling we rely on is often too low-level, too rigid, and too disconnected from real-world use cases. That gap has only widened as environments have exploded in complexity-more cloud providers, more managed services, more hybrid setups, more internal APIs, and "gillions" of tools stitched together into brittle workflows.

Is AI killing open source?

That mismatch worked, if uncomfortably, when contributing had friction. After all, you had to care enough to reproduce a bug, understand the codebase, and risk looking dumb. But AI agents are obliterating that friction (and have no problem with looking dumb). Even Mitchell Hashimoto, the founder of HashiCorp, is now considering closing external PRs to his open source projects, not because he's losing faith in open source, but because he's drowning in "slop PRs" generated by large language models and their AI agent henchmen.
