Open Source Maintainership in an LLM world
A couple of weeks ago I spoke about this topic at KC OSS Happy Hour and I wanted to turn the general ideas into a post I can point people at who are suffering from this problem. My slides were pretty good, if I do say so myself, so I grabbed the best images and put them into this post where appropriate.

What Happens When Formalization Becomes Cheap?
I started working on machine learning for formal theorem proving in 2018. When people ask how I got into the field so early, I sometimes give an answer that makes me sound quite visionary. The actual story is that my advisor had a student leaving, and he assigned the project to me. My apologies to everyone who got the visionary version. It was a fortunate assignment. Over the following years, I developed CoqGym and LeanDojo and contributed to Goedel-Prover. I was lucky to join a small research…
