Co-author is so strange. Like, would anyone credit an IDE or even a script generating code as co-author? Even legally, tools don't have the ontological requirement to be credited as author.
- bpev 2mo agoPretty sure it's just because if the tool generates the commit, it auto-adds itself as co-author. Like the iPhone emails that say "sent from iPhone"
- psychoslave 2mo agoYes, but the equivalent of "sent from Invasive·marketing·of·some·MUA™" would be "generated with Ludicrious·Laughable·Mockery™". That is, the MUAs don’t add "co-authored by myMUA".
