@crisverstraeten@mastodon.social Data flow is not something you can visualize automatically because it is a high level concept, not something inherent in the language. Dependencies between files and between functions are not a problem.

@crisverstraeten@mastodon.social What do you mean with 'data flow'? This comes to mind. https://www.npmjs.com/package/dependency-cruiser

@clew@ecoevo.social It's not been taken care of at all I would say. It's just super robust.

@ianthetechie@fosstodon.org That was pretty much the only point I disagreed with. But it's a give and take with these kinds of organization wide policies. What I think is most useful to know is which part of a PR was written with the help of AI. Because that parts needs the most skeptical eyes. Also I think prompts may help us retrace our steps and regenerate or modify parts of the same code in the future. Lastly, some models produce better or worse results than others.

We changed that last point from 'verify before opening a PR', because I noticed a lot of people these days are opening PRs with vibe coded bugfixes and feature implementations. They're basically bug reports and feature requests in PR form, and I find they can be a good starting point for a discussion or a proper fix or implementation.

We wrote a new #AI usage policy for #MapLibre.

I respect projects that ban AI outright. It was discussed as an option, and it's not unthinkable we will ever go there.

https://github.com/maplibre/maplibre/blob/main/AI_POLICY.md

tl;dr: don't let AI speak for you, disclose AI usage and verify AI assisted contributions before marking a PR as ready for review.

I found a pedestrian traffic light in the Netherlands that is either green or ‘you may cross at your own risk’.

So basically how pedestrian traffic lights work worldwide (except Germany), but they made it official.

My aunt gave me a 50 year old Indonesian cookbook she used during a course way back.

I feel like a wizard finding an ancient spellbook.

It’s full of ingredients and spices I didn’t even know existed. Boy am I going to have fun with this.

@ianthetechie@fosstodon.org That's not the best route. Much nicer to go through the nature area all the way! At least, that's what I think. Going to bike this route tomorrow on my way to giving a #MapLibre workshop. 🙂
