I’m not sure how to respond to well-meaning peoples’ AI PRs. I was looking at an RSpec one, and… it needs a lot of work. That work becomes the reviewer’s, though, and I would almost end up rewriting it myself. I’m glad I am only on the periphery of this stuff

It’s also, like… I think this new generation of programmers naively believe they’re contributing in this way, but it’s actually draining. They don’t know better, and I’m also not sure they ever will. It’s a big culture clash

@soulcutter There is a similar PR for Rubygems as well: “here are 30 AI commits to make Rubygems 2x faster!”. The whole PR is impossible to review.
