Maybe we need open source credit scores. PRs from talented engineers with proven track records of high quality contributions would be presumed good enough for review. Unknown, newer contributors could have a size limit on their PRs, with massive PRs rejected automatically.
We don't need more KYC, no.
Anyone else feel like we're cresting the LLM coding hype curve? Like a recognition that there's value there, but we're passing the frothing-at-the-mouth stage of replacing all software engineers?
> Some go so far as to say “AI not welcome here” find another project. This feels extremely counterproductive and fundamentally unenforceable to me. But it's trivially enforceable. Accept PRs from unverified contributors, look at them for inspiration if you like, but don't ever merge one . It's probably not a satisfying answer, but if you want or need to ensure your project hasn't been infected by AI generated code y…

Nice jewish word mostly meant to mock. Why would I care what a plugin that I don't even see in use has to say to my face (since I had to read this with all the interpretation potential and receptiveness available). The same kind of inserted judgment that lingers similar to "Yes, I will judge you if you use AI".
There’s nothing wrong with judgment. Judging someone’s character based on whether they use generative “AI” is a valid practice. You may not like being judged, but that’s another matter entirely.
You and I know that using AI is a metric to consider when judging ability and quality.
The difference is that it's not judgment but a broadcast, announcement.
In this case a snotty one from Discourse.
I mention that it lingers because I think that is a real psychological effect that happens.
Small announcements like this carry over into the future and flood any evaluation of yourself which can be described as torture and sabotage since it has an effect on decisions you make sometimes destroying things.

Essay is way more interesting than the title, which doesn't actually capture it.
I don't like it but I can hardly blame them.
It’s an extension of the asymmetric bullshit principle IMO, and I think now all workplaces / projects need norms about this.

Will the contributor respond to code-review feedback? Will they follow-up on work? Will they work within the code-of-conduct and learn the contributor guidelines? All great things to figure out on small bugs, rather than after the contributor has done significant feature work.
