@indutny I left my comment on the HN article just now:
> I used Node.js extensively for about a decade, both professionally and as a hobby. I don't buy the problem statement.
> These arguments don't even make sense, they look LLM generated. I can't even formulate a disagreement against this nonsense.

@andrewrk thank you! There’s now going to be a TSC vote on the matter in about two weeks. I'll hope to present these points succinctly before the committee!

@andrewrk tbh, I feel exactly the same about the proposed change itself. It is hard to buy whatever is being sold... Thankfully the outrage that I felt happened way before I could even take a look at the code. Asking people to review 19k LoC LLM-generated PR is beyond what I'd consider basic politeness. The disproportionality of the time spent implementing this and the time needed to carefully review and catch slop mistakes is egregious.
