I hate when people say their API supports iso8601 and when your api call fails they're like, oh I meant yyyy-mm-dd and EST timezone please.

Isn't yyyy-mm-dd a ISO-8601 compliant date format?

Until Omega Star gets their act together, we have to live with this nonsense...

Sorry, I have exhausted my token budget for the month and wasn’t able to complete the rewrite in Rust of Omega Star which will make ISO8601 super easy to implement. Let’s circle back on this issue in June.

Now I want to create an AI SaaS that automatically removes ads from commit messages, and advertise it in commit messages.

If it is their own repo, I wouldn't give a damn. If it was any other I would poison their

Nice deflection there, why can’t both things be bad?

I don't know what you're saying. This is the second or third HN post I'm seeing this month along the lines of "how dare AI companies flag my code as AI-generated". I just don't remember similar complaints about the iPhone footer. Not many HNers complain about The North Face putting the text "The North Face" on their hoodies either. Or Honda putting their logo on the car. The reasons for this difference are interestin…

Plenty of people turned off the iPhone thingie once they figured out where the setting was (kinda buried).

Plenty of people don’t like logos. And some do, because they tie their identity with brands. Maybe in the future some of us will tie our identities to specific agents/LLMs.

To each their own. I don’t have clothing with logos, I find it gross. And you also don’t know I’ve sent you an email from an iPhone. Ça va.

When a paper is submitted to a reputable publication references are demanded. You have to let people know where your ideas are supported, or even come from. To do anything else is plagiarism. AI isn't a co-contributer - but it should be referenced - just like a link to a Stack Overflow comment when that's the source of code. Having AI referenced in the commit is (IMO) best practice - but only co-contributer attribute…

Disagree, I never attributed Laravel Artisan or all the other code generators. Right now you could run Laravel new app (replace with any new framework) and Claude/Cursor/Codex git commit will claim to of created the code.

To be fair I've never used Laravel - but I do have a memory of code generators/scaffolders inserting files that made clear they were responsible for work

Do I need to write “coauthored by protoc” when pushing grpc changes? “Coauthored by gofmt” when formatting? “Coauthored by React when using npx create-next-app”? No. So, same goes for ai

Have a look at the top of the files generated by protoc bud ;)

It's not in the git commit, it's in the files themselves - is that what you want for AI instead?
