Huh? What blog post? I never wrote any blog post about this, nor did anyone else at Cloudflare.
All I did was publish an OAuth library on GitHub. I wrote it because we needed one as part of a broader project. The goal of the project was never to demonstrate AI coding practices, the goal was to build a framework for MCP servers, and one thing we needed for that was an OAuth implementation.
It happens that I used AI to build it, so I made note of this in the readme, and also included the prompts in the commit history, as this seemed like the honest and appropriate thing to do.
Two months later, someone posted it to Hacker News, highlighting this note -- and then everyone got very excited and/or angry about it. Other people wrote a bunch of blog posts about it. Not me.
