Artificial intelligence is accelerating change across the software ecosystem — but it’s also exposing some uncomfortable truths about incentives, platforms, and expertise.

In this episode, Alan Shimel, Mike Vizard, Chris Blask, and Kate Scarcella examine how AI and “vibecoding” tools are reshaping the open source software community — and whether traditional OSS models can remain sustainable in an AI-driven world.

The conversation then turns to the growing debate around the “enshittification” of the internet, taking a hard look at who is actually responsible for platform decay. Is it the technology itself, or the incentives, business models, and decisions layered on top of it?

Finally, the panel digs into a critical paradox: while AI promises automation and efficiency, it is actually increasing demand for deeper expertise, not less. As organizations race to adopt AI, the lack of skilled practitioners is becoming one of the biggest barriers to real progress.
