Caution: partly authored by an LLM.
- lproven 4mo agoWhere? Byobu has been around since 2008 and so long predates LLM coding "assistants". Citation: https://byobu.org/#about https://byobu.org/#about
- leephillips 4mo agoLook at the list of contributors on the Github page, and you will see one of the popular plagiarism machines. It’s the third most prolific committer to the project.
- lproven 4mo agoInteresting. Yes, I do see that. The activity graph exactly matches that of Kirkland himself: nothing until the last 3 bars, then identical. So I think we can conclude that DK is using Claude. I detest the automatic-idiocy bots as much as anyone, but I think we do have to ask what he's doing with it.
- dustinkirkland 4mo agoDustin Kirkland here, author of Byobu, among other things. For me, Claude has brought the joy back to creating again. I have a very busy schedule -- working a full time job, managing a huge team, raising a family. For many years (some have noticed the gap in git history) -- I haven't had the time to work on Byobu (or, my employment arrangement made it difficult to contribute to open source software). But now, I'm employed by a company that welcomes open source contribution. And Claude has given me a small army of interns, for $20/month -- that have been working around the clock fixing bugs and adding features that I've always wanted to work on, but haven't had the time to do so.
- timmmmmmay 4mo agooh no he's using computers to write software
- dustinkirkland 4mo agoOh no! Not that! :-)
- epihelix 4mo agoI'm also confused by why this is being posted now? I've been using byobu for almost a decade now - it and fish shell are the first things I install on a new system.
- nosrepa 4mo agoI was just thinking about installing it the other day as well.
