“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.
@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 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.
