> When I tell my LLM to "open a PR for those changes" (which is how I do it nowadays), my LLM understands that what I mean is "make a commit, push it to a remote and raise a PR".

This makes it seem like all of those things are part of a single operation to you. That doesn't make sense to me.

On the occasions where I've submitted a PR to a project (anywhere, not just on Github), making the commit was not part of the same operation. I'd already made the commit and satisfied myself that it captured everything I wanted, before making the PR. I don't see those things as part of a single operation. I don't think the poster you were responding to does either.

So you think the OP is asking candidates a question, where the solution is:

1. Navigate your browser to GitHub.mycompany.example.com

2. Click the repo name

3. Click pull requests

4. Click the source branch[1] and destination branch

5. Click "create pull request"

???

I started out by assuming this was some kind of good-faith disagreement, but I guess you're just trying to be funny.

[1] Presumably already extant, because they never mentioned anything about committing code, nor pushing it to github (and that's not the same operation!).

		> So you think The OP said: "we also ask the candidate to open a PR" So I think the OP meant to have the candidate, um, open a PR. Which is not the same thing as making a commit and pushing it to a remote. Maybe you always conflate those operations, but that doesn't make them the same operation. If the OP actually meant that they ask the candidate to make a commit, push it to the remote, and then open a PR, I would have expected the OP to say, um, all of those things, instead of just the last one. I couldn't say how the OP expected the candidate to open a PR, since I don't know what their standard workflow is. There are ways of doing it from the CLI, as well as through the web interface, as well as through various IDEs. > I started out by assuming this was some kind of good-faith disagreement, but I guess you're just trying to be funny. Please save your patronizing for another time. And stop trying to put words in my mouth.
