Hi Kris,
Thirteen years, and you were one of the fourteen owners of this organisation - you could have pushed whatever you wanted, whenever you wanted. I wish you had.
The wait was real, and it is on all of us who held the keys and waited for someone else to do it. You were one of us - which is why I am sorry to see you go.
Your seat is removed.
The door stays open.
Cheers,
Bruno

I agree that the days of hand coding without AI assistance is quickly fading into the past.
Due to this and the years-long waiting for Xymon to get upgraded, I have used AI to build my own modern monitoring server from scratch (including agents), and fully abandoned Xymon.
Please remove me from the Xymon mailing list, and also I can be removed from the Github contributor list.
Thank You,
Kris Springer

Hi everyone,
Here is my feedback on working with AI/LLMs for Xymon:
- We no longer code by ourselves; LLMs do it for us. The real skill now is guiding the AI, designing the architecture, and validating the result. LLMs write code better than even experienced C developers, though skilled individuals—including good developers—are still essential to direct them.
- We still need to write a specification, like an RFC.
- We still need to do reviews to catch problems that a good specification or tests might miss.
All this changes the meaning of being a "code author" and shifts how a team should be built.
Let me know what you think!
Cheers,
Bruno
