   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.

            Their policy is immature. Clicking little upvote and downvote buttons is immature. Better to just lie and duplicate the issue.

               Seems like "parallel construction" where you show you actually understand and can explain the issue independent of an LLM would be the way to go. No need to mention how you found the bug as long as you can explain what the bug is, why it matters, and how to repro.

                  Sending a repro and saying you don't understand why it doesn't work is valid too.

               Lying to get around a project policy you disagree with is immature. They have the right to run things the way they want, either accept their rules or leave the project be.
