I no longer care to work on any Ruby gems so I've archived all my repositories

The author has decided to archive the source code of their Ruby gems, signifying that they are no longer actively working on them. This decision is made to clarify that they are no longer involved in the development process. The author's inspiration to contribute to the community has waned, as they feel that corporations are misusing the knowledge they have provided by feeding it into AI agents.

They believe that the Ruby language is being developed primarily using LLM agents, and the creator of Ruby is now focusing on positioning the language for the AI age. The author questions the sustainability of writing code by hand, comparing it to a situation where someone has defiled a bed. They express their dissatisfaction with the way things are and assert that they are no longer part of the community.
