If you created a large, successful OSS project, would you want to be BDFL or move on after a period? I see tradeoffs on both sides, although it's not a decision I've needed to make myself.

It's always seemed odd to me that the Rust stdlib is so lean (no random numbers, regex, HTTP) yet clippy is so big (correctness, performance, style preferences, even 'too many arguments'). Maybe it's because cargo is mature but clippy doesn't have an extension ecosystem?

I have a bunch of open tasks on my GH repos, so I tried asking ChatGPT and Claude to write a card-based web UI that showed some random open issues. ChatGPT gave me something that worked, but the Claude mock-ups look better (and render inline!).
