   How is Zig doing as a project? I remember they took a hard line against AI

      It looks like they're spending 5 months what should be a 1 month job these days.

         Filed a compiler bug related to dwarf tables that screws up debugging and line of code coverage that they completely ignored, just because I mentioned that I had every LLM check it to confirm it's a bug, since all I know is what kcov and every coverage tool generates incorrect coverage data for my repo, for 100% certain.

            Sounds like you violated the clearly stated project rules and admitted to it. Are you surprised that they're not engaging with you?

               It's a violation of project rules to confirm bugs with AI?

                  Read it yourself: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ziglang.org&#x2F;code-of-conduct&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ziglang.org&#x2F;code-of-conduct&#x2F;

                     &gt;If you use a chatbot to give you advice on a comment on the issue tracker, that comment is unwelcome.

                     &gt;No LLMs for finding bugs.

                     &gt;No talking about use of chatbot&#x2F;LLM services.

                     I&#x27;ve said it before and I&#x27;ll say it again- it&#x27;s a cult that bans dissent

                        For the record, there isn&#x27;t even uniformity of thought on LLMs within the core team, let alone the broader Zig community.

                           If there&#x27;s an edict that no one is allowed to bring up the topic, how can someone change this part of the code of conduct?

                           Asking non-rhetorically. It seems like one position &quot;ai in any circumstance = bad&quot; is being enforced. The commenter above didn&#x27;t even understand why he was ignored.

                              To clarify, do you mean someone who isn&#x27;t part of the core team?
