Everything Is Broken and I'm Always Tired
A sharply titled essay argues that AI-generated security reports are overwhelming open-source maintainers.
Field notes
The page frames vulnerability reporting as a triage problem: maintainers must distinguish public-tool output from reports produced by advanced, hand-validated systems, even when the submissions look similar. Its argument connects that workload to maintainer bandwidth, project governance, and the economic value built on open-source software. The visible essay is dated September 8, 2026, and is divided into sections that move from the reporting symptom toward broader sustainability concerns and proposed ways to help.
