Who opened the PR? Who co-authored the commits? It's clearly on Github.

So there you have it. If he looked, he co-authored then there's that.
- kjksf 7mo agoIf I put my signature on Picasso painting, it doesn't make me co-author of said painting. Blanchard is very clear that he didn't write a single line of code. He isn't an author, he isn't a co-author. Signing GitHub commit doesn't change that.
- re-thc 7mo ago> Blanchard is very clear that he didn't write a single line of code He used Claude to write it. Difference? The fact that I write on the notepad vs printed it out = I didn't do it? > Signing GitHub commit doesn't change that. That's the equivalent of me saying I didn't kill anyone. The fingerprints on the knife doesn't change that.
- satvikpendem 7mo agoI'll take a commit authored by someone else and then git amend the author to myself, did I write that commit then? By your logic I did apparently.

Even if you added 0.000000001% to something you did so technically, yes. > By your logic I did apparently If you take someone's email and forward it did you write that email? Instead of debating that imagine you took a trojan email and forwarded it to someone and they opened it - do you think you'd be held up in any way?
