Interesting, you must be reading an article based in a different reality. The news and interview I read shows that he:
- Used AI, and hid his use of it by stripping the Claude co-authorship tag
so I configured Claude code to skip the co-authorship line in git commits.
- A user notices an increase in AI assisted commits and opens an issue asking about
- Dev after being called out on it responds petulantly that he already hid what he was doing and what are you gonna do about it
Clanker-lovers be like: I see no problem here
And, again this is only coming out because GitHub added a co-authorship tag to AI assisted commits, meaning if GitHub hadn’t forced the transparency, this would have all flown under the radar unnoticed.
