I really appreciate all the replies and support on this one. It was hard to write. I do want to call out two points that aren't being discussed, and that I felt pretty strongly about:

Open source is in trouble, and maintainers need help. Generative code is the help that showed up. What is the expectation here?

"The tool requires expertise to validate, but its use diminishes expertise and stunts its growth." What does "responsible use" look like that prevents this obvious and pervasive harm?

As a research project, I built a needed tool with Claude Code. I thought it would be a disaster, but it wasn't. I have some complicated feelings about it.

I used AI. It worked. I hated it.

I used Claude Code to build a tool I needed. It worked great, but I was miserable. I need to reckon with what it means.

I’m rewatching old Star Trek episodes to see which ones pass the B’kdel Test:
(1) Two named Klingons
(2) Talking to each other
(3) About something other than honor
