Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

So how do you tell apart AI contributions to open source from human ones?

[–] self@awful.systems 9 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

if it’s undisclosed, it’s obvious from the universally terrible quality of the code, which wastes volunteer reviewers’ time in a way that legitimate contributions almost never do. the “contributors” who lean on LLMs also can’t answer questions about the code they didn’t write or help steer the review process, so that’s a dead giveaway too.

I'm sorry you work at such a shit job

or, I guess, I'm sorry for your teammates if you're the reason it's a shit job

either way it seems to suck for you, maybe you should level your skills up a bit and look at doing things a bit better

Good code quality is a myth.
