It feels like someone being overwhelmed/exhausted to the point of saying "fuck it, I don't care anymore" and afterwards rationalising the use of LLMs as the only way they can keep up, while simultaneously falling for it's addiction. It does demonstrate why relying on one-man projects without chipping in is risky. Unfortunately the companies that rely on it are probably also captured by the bubble so they won't think so.
