#2I have a full time job and also maintain another significantly large open source project solo (Kuberhealthy), so my flags package for Go was often neglected despite having 850+ stars and being used in lazydocker and others. I had a lot of guilt about this, but now that I've been getting used to using AI, returning to this project to add the features I always wanted it to have (completion for shells) was doable from my couch with family and kids as a constant distraction.
I am optimistic that AI is a good thing for software and it's certainly made it possible for me to stay on top of my open source projects for the first time in many years.

Thanks for sharing this. Can you elaborate on what AI tools you used? Free or paid?

I used Codex mostly, but my CLI Codex would run out of quota after an hour or so because I only have the OpenAI Plus plan.
That said, when I used the agentic version on the website, the quota currently seems to be infinite. I could get 10+ agents running and work for hours without a mention of quota limits. I'm guessing this is a temporary business maneuver to help Codex catch up on market share.
That said, the online version was pretty good. I found myself building out code and docs from my phone sometimes.
