    A note to the developers in the project, if anyone is reading: your repositories are in violation of the new Codeberg policy that forbids AI-generated code [1].

      Codeberg are going to have issues in the future when all code is AI generated (except for artisanal code of course, written for the love of the craft but not to achieve anything of merit).

        Assuming writing code by hand is slower (which I agree with), why can&#x27;t it still have merit compared to code written via llm harness?

          Because no one is going to hire developers who write code by hand, apart from a few niches. For the same reason that no one hires a courier who delivers by horse anymore, or a miller who uses windmills to grind their grain, or a cooper who continues to use wooden staves and iron hoops instead of forming plastic or metal containers, or...

            &gt; or a miller who uses windmills to grind their grain,

            Huh. For all the &quot;traditional&quot;, &quot;organic&quot;, &quot;hand crafted&quot;, and other &quot;things&quot; I&#x27;ve encountered that isn&#x27;t one of them. I wonder why no one is advertising fair trade hydropower stone ground organic flour?

              Because people generally don&#x27;t like having bits of millstone in their flour.
