I can't believe we're still having to say this in 2025, but would people *please* scroll back to the top of a website when they're finished reading, so it's ready for the next person. We've even got buttons at the bottom to do it all in one go, it's not 1994 any more.

Besides the trust to the individuals in the team, I feel similarly with the trust to the OSS projects: in the past, one could assume that the authors cared enough and knew what they were during (there were usually enough indicators to tell, otherwise the project usually wouldn't even fly).

I would not go that far as setting the trust level on the PRs based on how much the given person likes using LLM assisted tools (IMO they can be really really helpful even to people that know what they are doing), but I really wish everyone would be professional enough to be as familiar with the code as if they wrote it all by hand. I'm a bit worried though it goes against this FASTER, FASTER, FASTER narrative of the days…

If they are reviewing a patch submitted by a team member who they know likes to use LLM generated code then the review requires a far deeper introspection than an equivalent review of someone who does not or sparingly uses them.

Sometimes I wonder why people get so upset when the government helps people who need help.

We do such an excellent job at subsidizing the wealthy that I think we could try subsidizing the needy instead.

Productivity tip on dealing with RSS:

3. forget to read the marked ones later
