It would be crazy if the university were getting nothing out of it, but your work as a PhD student benefits not only you but the university as a whole. I think it would be reasonable to give students a living wage. I don't think anyone

Regardless of how many concurrent players it has now, TF2 was massively influential to other FPS games, and it's still held with high regard by the community. It was also one of the first major games to introduce loot boxes.

What if I just want to make my code available for other people to use and modify however they want, but don't want to run a project? People can fork it themselves if they're not satisfied with it.

I don't understand. Is your argument that because these expectations exist, anyone working on open-source has to abide by them automatically?

Are you suggesting PhD candidates have AI write their theses? Or just writing LaTeX commands while the students write the core text? Because if it's the latter, LaTeX usually isn't the bottleneck.

You should be able to use the normal git gutter as long as your repository is colocated.

I've been using it in relatively the same way for a while now. The only meaningful changes were native support for `tug` and `absorb`, neither of which significantly changed my workflow.

I usually use Python or Rust for CLIs, but Optique makes me want to try out Typescript!

If you use a type checker in strict mode (e.g. pyright with "typeCheckingMode: strict") and a linter with strict rules (e.g. ruff with many rules enabled), the output space is constrained enough that you can get pretty consistent

I'm not saying you shouldn't. I'd say 70% of my work code is written by Claude Code or Codex. But this is something you should be aware of when interacting with agents.

Who closes the gate? Is it Claude itself after it runs the verification? Who makes sure the verification did in fact run?

You're confusing mixing git and jj in your local copy of the repo vs what it looks like to other people. You can use jj locally, and it interoperates perfectly with any git remote, and no one has to know you're even using it. From

If you constantly switch between the two, you're going to have a hard time, but you can take a git repo, try jj for a while, and if you decide to go back, you don't lose anything.
