“Virtual File System” PR for Node.js comes with a disclaimer:
"Disclaimer: I've used a significant amount of Claude Code tokens to create this PR. I've reviewed all changes myself.”
LoC added: +18945
Thankfully it hasn't been merged yet. The changes are all over the place and this makes me uncomfortable about running Node.js long term.
Update: I'm so proud of y'all!
I know AI companies and many employers aren’t making it easy to step out and say "no" to it, but you went in and signed the petition. I respect that a lot!
We still have time to get more names on the list and make stronger case for TSC committee, but seeing all these names under it is already very refreshing in the days where every news cycle either talks about AI changing the world or about job cuts by major companies (in addition to wars, obviously).
Some people asked me if I could offer a way to sign the petition without having a github account, so I created a mirror (?) on Change.org:
https://www.change.org/p/no-ai-code-in-node-js-core
Github is still a preferred way to sign this, but if for some reason this doesn't work for you - at least now you have an alternative way to make your voice heard!
@yasser yes, absolutely!
I’m trying to find a common ground on which we could base the decision not to accept such change, and which is agreeable to engineers leaning on LLMs heavily. DCO seemed like a good starting point since in my reading it clearly is incompatible with the LLM assisted contributions.
@indutny I left my comment on the HN article just now:
> I used Node.js extensively for about a decade, both professionally and as a hobby. I don't buy the problem statement.
> These arguments don't even make sense, they look LLM generated. I can't even formulate a disagreement against this nonsense.
@andrewrk thank you!
There’s now going to be a TSC vote on the matter in about two weeks. I'll hope to present these points succinctly before the committee!
@andrewrk tbh, I feel exactly the same about the proposed change itself. It is hard to buy whatever is being sold...
Thankfully the outrage that I felt happened way before I could even take a look at the code. Asking people to review 19k LoC LLM-generated PR is beyond what I'd consider basic politeness. The disproportionality of the time spent implementing this and the time needed to carefully review and catch slop mistakes is egregious.
@indutny thanks for challenging this. I agree that the DCO seems largely incompatible with LLM usage it actually read it and think.
Most people haven’t read it or thought about it, just sign off your commit that Claude made and move on.
The LF (sadly) seems to be rather unbothered by it.
