Reading the rsync guy’s post about the details of why he was using Claude to rewrite tests and how it’s not as bad as it was reported I took away one thing, and it wasn’t that using LLM code generation is actually okay.
It was: Jesus fuck, rsync needs a new maintainer. Not because this guy is _bad_ or anything, but that he’s retired and we should leave him the fuck alone to enjoy his retirement without having to rearchitecture tests to help with increased security reports!
