Yacine's manifesto: full open source and training his own AI to 100x output
yacineMTB · x · 2026-09-24
Developer Yacine laid out a 'full independence' philosophy: open source software, open source AI, and open source personally. His argument: 'I know better' — to get tools up to his standards, he must help build them. He claims building his own AI tooling could yield 10-100x more output, and the logical endpoint is training his own models for his work.
