You have never split your working tree changes into separate commits?

Irrelevant question. In README has:

>Built in public as a learning-by-doing project

So, either the entire project was already written and being uploaded one file at the time (first modification since lowest commit mentioned is README update: https://github.com/whispem/minikv/commit/6fa48be1187f596dde8..., clearly AI generated and clearly AI used has codebase/architecture knowledge), and this claim is false, or they're implementing a new component every 30s.

Yes, I know. I had the opportunity to request a review of my first post (which was flagged) following my email to the moderators of HN. After checking, the moderator told me to redo a post because indeed I was wrongly flagged by some people here.

Hello, cool project, did you think about maybe contributing to the key-value store feature of Garage, which is also a Rust project by open source development lab Deux Fleurs?

Hello! Thank you for your message. I don’t know this project, do you have a GitHub link maybe?

I am not going to pretend to know what this person did, but I've definitely modified many things at once and made distinct commits after the fact (within 30s). I do not find it that abnormal.

I didn’t use AI for the codebase, only for .md files & there's no problem with that. My project was reviewed by moderators, don't worry. If the codebase or architecture was AI generated this post would not have been authorized and therefore it would not have been published.

Thanks a lot! I make distinct commits "every 30s" because I'm focused and I test my project. If the CI is green, I don't touch of anything. If not, I work on the project until the CI is fully green.

How does this deleted fix_everything.sh fit in to your story?

I thought that your “background in literature” contributed to the “well-written docs”, but that was LLMs!

I don't see the problem to be honest

No, I was helped (.md files only) by AI to rewrite but the majority of the doc is written by myself, I just asked for help from the AI for formatting for example.
