i watch people open merge requests on github with 2,000+ lines of changes and an entirely LLM generated explanation and then i watch a maintainer for that repo reply back also with an entirely LLM generated response and can't tell if i'm rooting for the maintainer to fight fire with fire to defend his shit, or disappointed just seeing everyone come out worse from such behavior.

@7666 only artisanal, homegrown, ethical code around here mistah
@mischievoustomato anyone trying to merge 2,000 lines of changes in a single pr needs to calm the fuck down
i mean, yeah, you could ask it to separate stuff, but if all parties are ok with using agents, which can analyze, run, test, verify on their own, is there much of an upside, provided all parties are ok with the results?
@mischievoustomato just because "agents" exist doesn't mean you get to throw away the basic concepts of version control and maintainability.
@7666 @mischievoustomato Ive been studying StGit to solve a very very specific branch management problem im having, downloaded it, discovered its completely fuckin busted on windows. So i had claude work to find the root cause until all the test cases passed.
Not im learning how to use the tool proper and how it works underneath so i can understand how to deal with edge cases.
I feel like the last sane man on earth sometimes
