| ▲ | scared_together 34 minutes ago | parent [-] | | When I look at the commits themselves, most of the ones generated by Claude are testsuite changes, or at least labelled as such. https://github.com/RsyncProject/rsync/commits/master/ | | |
| ▲ | shimman 5 minutes ago | parent [-] | | Is that suppose to make this better? IME the most valuable tests are those that test specific regressions. It's the scaffolding we build for ourselves to enable feature development. Remove that scaffolding and you get accidents. Pray to your god of choice these accidents don't cause harm or loss of life. It should really be considered negligence at this point. Some of this software is extremely valuable, it's how we flourish as humans. Purposely fucking with that should bear some real world consequence. We do the same in every other industry, software is just as important too. |

| The comments are worth reading. |

| ▲ | akerl_ 23 minutes ago | parent | next [-] | | Are they? I've read them and they mostly just made me feel like shit. The amount of drive-by hate being thrown at project maintainers of an open source project is depressing. | | |
| ▲ | asp_hornet 5 minutes ago | parent [-] | | I guess both things can be true. Make you feel horrible and the reality of open source sometimes. |

| ▲ | cpard 2 minutes ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | The comments are definitely not worth reading. It’s a very sad thread, you literally had to go through all of them to find one that wasn’t about hate and stating some facts about the issues of the code. | |

| Terrible issue. If I maintained I would instaclose. Must be bad for maintainers stress levels. |
