“I’ve spent about 100 hours of work over the past month to make sure git-annex can build without dependencies that contain LLM generated code.”
The git-annex maintainer burned 100 hours auditing his dependency tree to strip out AI-generated code. His reason is not ideology, it is quality. He found reverted AI changes nobody could explain and giant commits with incoherent messages. Every “10x productivity” claim about AI coding quietly offloads the review cost onto whoever maintains the thing downstream.
