  • @miguelgrinberg I have picked up a habit of pinning cloned repositories to the last pre-Claude commit (based on authorship or presence of agent-related meta files). I don't know if it's a good or bad habit. In my mind, that commit represents the final change the owners of this repository were willing to take full responsibility for. I would hate to feel the need to do this with Python.

    @miguelgrinberg >The only thing we can tell with certainty is that the CPython project is allowing developers to use LLMs, either explicitly or implicitly by not having a clear policy that forbids it. >Do you allow core developers to use LLMs for coding? What about regular contributors? For which kinds of tasks? Are there any tasks for which coding assistance is not allowed? Do you require contributors to declare if their contributions were made with the help of LLMs? https://devguide.python.org/getting-started/generative-ai/
