If those tools are writing the code then in general I do expect that to be included in the PR! Through my whole career I've seen PRs where people noted that code that was generated (people have been generating code since long before LLMs). It's useful context unless you've gone over the generated code and understand it and it is the same quality as if you wrote it yourself (which in my experience is the case where it…
You assemble all your machine code using a magnetized needle?
AI and humans are not the same as authors of PRs. As an obvious example: one of the important functions of the PR process is to teach the writer about how to code in this project but LLMs fundamentally don't learn the same way as humans so there's a meaningful difference in context between humans and AIs.
If a human takes the care to really understand and assume authorship of the PR then it's not really an issue (and if they do, they could easily modify the Claude messages to remove "generated by Claude" notes manually) but instead it seems that Claude is just hiding relevant context from the reviewer. PRs without relevant context are always frustrating.

wow, it's also not like their code was actually good (though this apply to most enterprise software). To hide a client behind closed source (it's also typescript, so even more baffling) is laughable behavior.
They constantly love to talk about Claude Code being "100%" being vibe coded...and the US legal system is leaning towards that not being copyrightable.
It could still be a trade secret, but that doesn't fall under a DMCA take down.

So you'd disagree with style that Linux uses for their commits? Random example: Provide a new syscall which has the only purpose to yield the CPU after the kernel granted a time slice extension. sched_yield() is not suitable for that because it unconditionally schedules, but the end of the time slice extension is not required to schedule when the task was already preempted. This also allows to have a strict check for…
I think my post makes it pretty clear that I would. If you want, I could cite several examples of organizations which use the method I described, so you can weigh it against the one example you provided, and get the full picture. In your example, for example, where was the issue tracked before the code was written? The format you linked makes it difficult to get the history of the issue. Let me ask you this: suppose…
Email is the review process, and commits contain enough information that git blame can get you a reasoning - it doesn't require you checking the email archive. Rather than a dead ticket that no longer exists.
I can also supply you a list of companies that make use of git's builtin features if you like. But thats probably not relevant to discussing management techniques.

#366> "Anti-distillation: injecting fake tools to poison copycats" Plot twist: Chinese competitors end up developing real, useful versions of Claude's fake tools.
I cannot bring myself to care about distillation, when these companies have built their empires on top of everyone else's stolen data, while at the same time telling the world they're out to replace us all.

Eh, there are some very good reasons[0] that you would do better to track your usage of LLM derived code (primarily for legal reasons) [0]: https://www.jvt.me/posts/2026/02/25/llm-attribute/
legally speaking.. if you're not sure of the risk- you don't document it.
Ah, so you kinda maybe sorta absolve yourself of culpability (but not really — "I didn't know this was copyrighted material" didn't grant you copyright), and simultaneously make fixing the potentially compromised codebase (someone else's job, hopefully) 100x harder because the history of which bits might've been copied was never kept.
Solid advice! As ethical as it is practical.
By the same measure, junkyards should avoid keeping receipts on the off chance that the catalytic converters some randos bring in after midnight are stolen property.
Better not document it.
One little trick the legal folks don't want you to know!
Re: The Claude Code Source Leak: fake tools, frustration regexes, undercover mode
#369I’m more curious how this impacts trust than anything else. In the span of basically a week, they accidentally leaked Mythos, and then now the entire codebase of CC. All while many people are complaining about their usage limits being consumed quickly. Individually, each issue is manageable (Because its exciting looking through leaked code). But together, it starts to feel like a pattern. At some point, I think the q…
Something that has been clear to me in using it, aside from direct claims by the authors, is that Claude is itself vibe coded slop. The number of random errors I get from using various parts of the web UI or CC that should work feels high for such a popular product. But they’re so deep in the vibes that I don’t think they can tell when some path in their web UI is broken. I tried to share a public link to a chat and…

I cringe every time I see Claude trying to co-author a commit. The git history is expected to track accountability and ownership, not your Bill of Tools. Should I also co-author my PRs with my linter, intellisense and IDE?

How about compiler?
