   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

                        &gt; The Zig community is decentralized. Anyone is free to start and maintain their own community, which is not subject to these rules.

                           The second part affirms that it is centralized. There is nothing wrong with that except saying that because you can leave the community and go elsewhere, it is ipso facto decentralized.

                           1. tolerance · 1790988860 · focus · HN ↗

                              I figure they&#x27;re either using a loose interpretation of &quot;decentralized&quot; or an honest interpretation of &quot;community&quot;.
