Yes and no. Have you looked at the code? It was clearly generated in one form or another (see the other comments). The author created a new GitHub account and this is their first repository. It looks to be generated from another code base a

There's a lot of code in the file that is questionable to say the least. There are unnecessary blocks ( { ... }; ) of code with unnecessary semicolons that don't serve any logical purpose. My hunch tells me it may be the result of

That doesn't make any sense. There's 10,000+ lines of code. There shouldn't be a single commit "Initial commit". I'm fine with squashing some commits and creating a clean history, but this isn't a clean hi

There's a single commit in the whole repository. Was this AI generated?

It aligns with my experience and what I have seen. Looking at this through the lenses of writing software; much of "learning" to write software comes down to experience. When you see an error like, "error: expected ‘,’ or ‘;’

I used Rust for ~14 months and released one profitable SaaS product built entirely in Rust (actix-web, sqlx, askama). I won't be using Rust moving forward. I do like the language but it's complicated (hard to hold in your head). I

One solution is to flood the network with LLM slop and hide among the noise.

Yes-- this is what I wanted. I wanted to get an idea of where most people fall.

Yes, use AI as much as you can.

Yes, but as an assistant.

No, but chatting with an LLM is alright.

> 90% is a lot. Will you care about the last 10%? I'm terrified that you won't. I would argue most never did. If you spend time in the startup world you quickly realize how little the average developer cares about craftsmanship

The list of extensions being scanned for are pretty clear and obvious. What is really interesting to me are the extensions _not_ being scanned for that should be. The big one that comes to mind is "Contact Out" which is scan-able,

I have a better idea-- why doesn't GitHub (that closed source platform) donate 20% of all revenue to opensource projects that enable the company to exist?
