I would judge commits by what it does not by who wrote it.

#112We’ll need “Organic software” seal of approval soon.
Not really. The opposite is far, far more desirable in my eyes. Example: * Do I care if an LLM was used to determine the volume of my doorbell? Not particularly. * Do I care if an LLM was used to generate code to unlock my front door remotely? Absolutely! I need a warning label cautioning me of the risks associated with generative materials. I don't care in the slightest when it isn't present, because the inherent ri…
You sure the door lock companies are hiring the best and brightest engineers? Not clear to me an LLM is not attractive in that scenario.

That would be a negative signal for me personally. It shows the authors care more about process than results.

#114Why are these projects still on Github? Isn't it better to move away from Github than go through all this shenanigans? This AI slopam nonsense isn't going to stop. Github is no longer the "social network" for software dev. It's just a vehicle to shove more and more Copilot stuff. The userbase is also changing. There are vast numbers of new users on Github who have no desire to learn the architecture or culture of the…
How does something being based in Europe actually help anyone?

#115Earlier quoted context omitted.
In a "existential war" type situation, people who don't wave the flag and shout the slogans of their "home" country and have known sympathies for other places (any at all) will automatically be suspect, and their names will end up in a database for later use. You can be assured that the leanings of Valve are always going to be USA, USA, USA, for reasons that will be clear when you follow the chain of ownership to its…
Pretty sure Gabe's been partying it up in New Zeland ever since he got stuck there because of Covid
And he recently said that he's effectively retired.

#118Incredibly dumb and nonenforceable policy. What matters is human review and correctness.
You're never going to be able to prove that a contributor didn't ask an LLM to help them make some changes, or review/optimize changes that were made.
Capable people who like to get stuff done will use LLMs, review their work carefully, and never disclose it. And you'll never be able to tell.
People who generated slop PRs won't even read your policy before submitting a slop PR.

#119What’s next? Are they going to forbid the use of Intellisrnse? Maybe IDEs in general? Why not just specify all contributions must be written with a steady hand and a strong magnet.
Visual Studio programmer spotted.
They're going to force you to use vim. Better start learning those key bindings as soon as possible.

#120tbh if the change works and the code is ok who cares what was used to build it? ChatGPT or C++ code generator. If the code looks crap - reject PR, why drama?
Because to decide if it's crap, you still have to read it.And because AI respect coding guidelines, you have to actually understand what the code does to detect crap. Also the sheer number is unmanageable.
Oh no, reading the code, so before AI era noone was reading the code? Unless you have automated checks done by AI to red flag AI submissions... what else can you do? Ask 100 times not to submit AI code or click a checkbox or add this really serious terms and conditions paragraph?
