Neat project. I find their new anti-AI policy to be interesting, but not at all useful to anyone. There are no objective arguments. No evidence of poor code quality in late 2026. No examples of why AI can't help the project. Just a rant.

I am very glad to see people with opinions that flow into what they do, but the question becomes: are you trying to make the best software, or make the most idealistic software? There's a big difference.

I am not at all advocating the use of straight AI slop, but with a policy like that you're opening yourself up for missed bugs, security issues, delayed features, and other things. Especially if you move away from software just because an AI wrote one line of code in it. You can still review the code. If it does the thing right, then use it!
