One character: a plain compare loop. Correct.

Not surprisingly, I get slight hints of Claudism in the text.

AI "opening" the source of software is one of the best things I've seen going for it so far.

Oh, it’s 100% absolutely Claude. There are more tells than this.

At any rate, “developers are disassembling it to find bugs” sounds extreme, but this is something Claude will do almost spontaneously, in my experience. I ran into an issue last week where a library wasn’t doing what I expected, and asked Claude to sort out why; I came back a few minutes later to find Claude tearing apart the library’s disassembly to reveal a mismatch in struct sizes between the library’s expectations and my headers. And it did solve the bug!

Given they don't have the code, I think it's fair enough here. Sounds like with it, it would have been much easier to find.

It could slow down progress.

Who beside the open source community develops new features if they can be easily copied?
