I'm so dumb that I thought this referred to posts at first 😅

I'm hoping such content can still be attributed as spam

I see how it can be interpreted that way. I updated the title to make it clearer.

nah I don't think that's on you. mondays will monday.

nice news, nevertheless

I thought so too, and went “ah that’s nice, only on the official instance or do they aim to try and enforce it everywhere?”

Banning it from the code base makes sense too.

Almost refreshing in the wake of the DHH article about them banning human contribution lol

Wait, huh? Is this real? Link?

Honestly, I think I happened to find a sensationalized headline. I can't find it anymore, everything recent is just about his own company only allowed hand writing code in exceptional cases. Which is close but not as sensationalized as I made it to be, sorry. I looked everywhere I could think of (browser history as well), so could have also just been a fever dream.

YouTube did recommend me a Fireship video about him claiming human-made code Is Over™, so I'd say you're close enough.

Ah, ok. No probs. Thanks!

Huh. Well, how about that...

Does dansup mean this? Or is he just gonna start hiding the AI now? I hope it's the former...🤞

So bizarre that other software outfits can’t work out how to put together a policy like this (although ‘substantially’ is doing a bit of heavy lifting)

Although the anchor in the link doesn’t point to anything on the main page; looks like you have to view at the README directly:
