  This is seriously not ok on HN. You can't attack others like this, regardless of how justified you are or feel you are, and we ban accounts that do. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html Edit: your account has unfortunately done this before (e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47548889 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47548889). I don't want to ban you, so if you'd please review the site rules and not do anything like this again on HN, we'd appreciate it.

What was the reasoning for this change?
- dmitriv 5mo ago
  There are customers who would like to see attribution on changes where AI contributed (companies, users, etc). True, that's not everyone, but you can query our repo for the issues for which this feature was implemented. The rationale I suppose is those customers what to be more careful with code that was contributed by AI. HTH

    I don't see how this would actually help. If people don't want to disclose they used AI they will just strip the message from the commit. Maybe those customers should just be more selective with the people they allow to contribute to their project? Also, this kind of message doesn't even bring valuable info: it doesn't explain how the AI was used (could be 99% vibe-coding, or just a quick "Please review current changes" + minor fixes at the end?), which model was used, etc. Like other commenters here I can't see this as anything else than a marketing push for Copilot. Don't take it personally though, you are probably not the one that should be taking the heat since the change was directly pushed by your product manager.

  Please don't be personally aggressive in HN comments, regardless of how provoked you are or feel you are. We're trying for something different here, and we particularly want to avoid pile-on, shaming, and mob dynamics. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

Why did a PM create the merge request? It seems like internal testing brought up issues, why was it merged regardless? Is velocity a metric you were aiming for when merging this?
