Article is propaganda. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] inari@piefed.zip 25 points 7 months ago (2 children) Greg says they're mostly small bug fixes and that the current maintainers can handle it, not sure where you're getting the "reams" bit from permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] justOnePersistentKbinPlease@fedia.io 13 points 7 months ago (1 child) Says in the article that they arent good to go, needing code review, code cleanup, comment and documentation cleanup, etc permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] inari@piefed.zip 27 points 7 months ago Yeah I mean, the goal is not to replace code maintainers, only to assist them in their work. Greg in general seems optimistic about it: "I did a really stupid prompt," he recounted. "I said, 'Give me this,' and it spit out 60: 'Here's 60 problems I found, and here's the fixes for them.' About one-third were wrong, but they still pointed out a relatively real problem, and two-thirds of the patches were right." Mind you, those working patches still needed human cleanup, better changelogs, and integration work, but they were far from useless. "The tools are good," he said. "We can't ignore this stuff. It's coming up, and it's getting better." permalink fedilink source parent
