<p>> Comparing programmers to farriers is definitely strange on the surface.<p>Just for another datapoint: two of my great-great-grandfathers in two family branches, in the same small village in France, were respectively farrier and black-smith, while I'm a software engineer. One son of the black-smith continued the trade as a side activity of being a plumber. So I had to think about how my career choice (and those of my siblings, uncles, cousins) relates to theirs.<p>My own perspective on those trades is that transforming metal was the top engineering scale in the countryside in their era. In those times (XIXth century, early XXth), learning the job required to go work with different masters around France ("tour de France" had another meaning before cycling). While it was still manual work, it was highly skilled job which required both technical skills and creativity, which are also key skills for software engineering.</p>

<p>Or if your goal is to open source code, think about the lifetime of the entity owning the domain: the source code might be of interest to users beyond the control of the domain name. Domain controled by an individual or a company? What if the domain is not renewed, or taken over by an hostile entity?<p>Deepcopy [1] is a Go package that is still heavily used despite its creator has disappeared 9 years ago. At least GitHub is a stable and trusted host as a distribution point and communication point for users.<p>[1]: <a href="https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/mohae/deepcopy" rel="nofollow">https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/mohae/deepcopy</a></p>

<p>From the article:<p>> So I had a decision to make. I could dive back into PHP after almost a decade away, hand the package to one of the people who’d offered, or let it keep sitting there.<p>We are in the AI era. As a maintainer of an open source project that I haven't touched for years, I would first start by asking an AI to produce a fix for the issue and check what it proposes. This definitely reduces the mental load and risk of breaking an old codebase that so many users depend on.<p>Deprecating the project is playing the open source game in an other dimension: tell the word that depending on this project was a bad idea in the first place and that everyone should move on. But releasing a fix on a deprecated project is fine too.<p>So both actions are on different dimensions, this isn't a choice between 2 options.</p>
