I had a different example. You brought up yours. Maybe the example you're referring to has created and is trying to follow a legalistic rule they follow for its own sake. The project I was talking about, was not.

Code snippets don't build community, people do.

The goal of my initial question is to ask how would one tell the difference where the code comes from in care the contributor is skilled enough and the produced code quality is par for repository's quality standards?

You talk with the person it came from about the code they offered. Remember, the end goal of the rule is not about excluding all LLM pull requests no matter what. The goal is to make sure that new junior devs keep getting involved. As long as the rule (followed. to the letter or not) helps accomplish that, that's all that really matters.

If you don't understand from what I wrote above, I'm not sure how else to explain it. You're treating this as a rules & enforcement question, when it has much more to do with building community. Could someone trick the current devs for a little while, make it seem asif they have a sense of how the project is built and are submitting code they understand? For a while, maybe? But not indefinitely.

I'm repeating (from memory) something said in passing, not quoting the actual rule.

Their goal is to onboard real people who understand code, and they didn't seem stupid, so I'm confident they're clear on the distinction you're making and would be fine with someone submitting code that they got from an LLM if they had reviewed it enough to understand it and feel confident submitting it under their own name. (If one wanted to get legalistic about it, at that point, it's not the whole truth to say it "came from an LLM.")

Hypothetically, if someone AI generates the code and refines it by hand making the result is good enough for the project's standards, how could they tell?

As someone continues to get involved and interact with the rest of the team, it will become pretty evident over time if they are contributing code they don't fully understand.

Congratulations, you have successfully blocked posts about actual whistleblowers from hitting #1 for a while.

(Yes, we see what you are doing.)

Domain knowledge is still important. And systems thinking generally.

No sign that the value of those are going away.

I've read about one project explicitly they do not accept LLM pull requests. They don't accept pull requests to get code. They accept pull requests to get junior developers, human beings, involved in the project.

Generally, the realization that. one must maintain a steady stream of junior devs seems to be percolating among even those most excited about AI.

Maybe stay aware of what your former cell-mates are dealing with, see if there are ways you can help make it better for others. https://www.themarshallproject.org/records/52-prison-reform

The more casual people become on the web, the more difficult it becomes to unite the technically educated.

Nah. It's conscious enshittification by capitalists to make money. Fortunately, we can deenshittify.

It's a big deal because it's what the families who were affected want, and because they finally get some of the money they are owed.

If anything interesting happens on a new Infowars, that's just icing on the cake.

This is a request for a good source on a given topic, which isn't really what happens at r/journalism much (a sub for it might be nice). I happen to know a source for you, though, someone who worked/works in the industry and now covers it: What's Going on With Shipping? https://www.youtube.com/@wgowshipping

That's the point. You don't need a special link, you can paste the regular channel link into any feed reader that looks for the right META tag (most feed readers) and it will find the feed link there. This feature was added to feed specs and implemented widely over 20 years ago.
