I'm super impressed with the reviews from @coderabbitai -- they're an order of magnitude better than Claude (and two orders of magnitude better than copilot) even with the latest models. And free for open source projects! @coderabbitai how do I refer to you in a commit? e.g. "Co-Authored-By: coderabbitai" perhaps? Claude uses "Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>" if that helps.

    @hughsie@mastodon.social please don't add these trailers to the commit log. All they do is free advertising in the place that cannot be changed for the rest of the project; and they don't help anybody with reproducibility or historical information, because you cannot reproduce the results even if you, by chance, had access to the model state at the time. If you want to make it clear that you used code assistance, put it in the pull request description.

    @hughsie@mastodon.social @coderabbitai@mastodon.social "And free for open source projects!" That's nice, but it used to be...actually F/OSS. Then they closed the source so they can go make lots of money. I'm more interested in https://github.com/The-PR-Agent/pr-agent . That's a similar story - Qodo also started out open source then closed up shop - but they at least are allowing 'The Community' to actively develop the original F/OSS codebase from the point they forked it. I need to find time to write a Forgejo backend for it...
