So if an author abstained from using LLM in the writing process - isn't then new, original, not yet on the market book ending up in the LLM training data corpus even before it hits the market?

BUT - I'm capable to tinker with my car a bit, to service and repair my bike, to bake a bread - BUT I'm not visiting mechanic shops, bike service shops and bakeries in my city telling owners that they should work for free and give away results of their work.

For such rich and resourceful corp like Cloudflare surely this isn't a problem and they are going to overview, maintain and steward the project for a long, long time. Surely.

Of course, what worked me and what allows me to keep my sanity in my case of project owner coming in and remodeling half of the codebase over the weekend with CC is that I mentally ceded "ownership" of the project code, that is, I'm no longer feeling that I'm responsible for what is there and how it is structured. And there are tests.

Apart from that I can say that I empathize with you because I know that initially it feels awful, like loosing some part of agency and also to some degree humiliating when looking that something carefully and meticulously designed is restructured, replaced or thrown away so quickly and carelessly. What also helps is changing mental model and perceiving oneself as controller who overviews process of "shaping" code as whole, in its big mass, to behave in certain way instead of keeping mentally attached to some part of it because "I designed it".

The lack of transparency and accountability behind all of this is incredible in my perception.
