“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.”

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.

My perhaps overly irritated response to the PR: https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/61478#issuecomment-4075998105
And... this ended with a petition that I want to put before TSC vote in two weeks https://github.com/indutny/no-slop-in-nodejs-core

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!
