| > As a bonus, we look forward to fewer violations (exhibit A, B, C) of our strict no LLM / no AI policy, Hilarious how the offender on "exhibit A" [1] is the same one from the other post that made the frontpage a couple of days ago [2].

| oh god... he has a humongous AI generated PR for julia too https://github.com/tshort/StaticCompiler.jl/pull/180 |

| ▲ | sundarurfriend 3 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | More context/discussion on this: https://discourse.julialang.org/t/ai-generated-enhancements-... (Honestly, that's a lot more patience than I'd be able to give what are mostly AI-generated replies, so kudos to these folk.) | | |
| ▲ | nake89 2 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | When confronted about LLM writing completely broken tests the guy said the funniest thing: "It knows what it’s doing but tends to be… lazy." I'm a big fan of LLMs but this guy is just a joke. He understand nothing of the code the LLM generates. He says things like "The LLM knows". He is not going to convince anybody to merge is PRs, since he is not even checking that the tests the LLM generates are correct. It's a joke. | |
| ▲ | sundarurfriend 3 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | As an aside, he originally titled the thread "A complete guide to building static binaries with Julia (updated for 1.12)", with no mention of AI. That got me excited every time I opened the Discourse, until I remembered it was this slop. :/ |

| ▲ | forgotpwd16 37 minutes ago | parent | next [-] | | The biggest mistake, AI or not, is dropping a 10K+ PR. 300~500 LOC is how far one should be going, unless they're doing some automated refactoring. E.g. formatting the entire StaticCompiler.jl source. This should've been a distinct PR, preferably by a maintainer. | | | |

| Check out this dude: https://github.com/GhostKellz?tab=repositories He's got like 50 repos with vibe-coded, non-working Zig and Rust projects. And he clearly manages to confuse people with it: https://github.com/GhostKellz/zquic/issues/2 |

| Ah. I remember that guy. Joel. He sold his poker server and bragged around HN long time ago. He is too much of PR stunt guy recently. Unfortunately AI does not lead to people being nice in the end. The way people abuse other people using AI is crazy. Kudos to ocaml owners giving him a proper f-off but polite response. |

| That one was poorly documented and may have been related to an issue in my code. I would offer this one instead. https://github.com/joelreymont/zig/pull/1 |

| I agree that's a funny coincidence. But, what about the change it wanted to commit? It is at least slightly interesting. It is doubly interesting that changing line 638 neither breaks nor fixes any test. |

| ▲ | quirino 8 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | There's a tweet with a Claude screenshot with a bit more context (linked on the PR). I don't know enough about the project to know if it makes any sense, but the Zig contributor seemed confused (at least about the title). | | | |
