To be fair, what he writes, for the most part, doesn't even sound unreasonable to me, if I try to ignore the parts that are AI-pilled hyperbole.
@quincy yeah, it looks fine if you remove the context ...

* you're all dumb haters
* AI is a revolution just in the past few months
* yes there were regressions but,
* the new test suite is awesome you haters
* openrsync doesn't pass the new test suite! ha, you fools! well that's cos it targets an older version but,at least it reads like he wrote it by hand
i can pick the particular mastodon posts he's reacting to here
@davidgerard Seems to me that a root issue may be "I don't want to be the maintainer of this package any more - I'd rather be sailing - but I am not taking any (apparent) action to get others to take it over.
I've no problem with a retired maintainer of a bedrock package wanting to avoid spending their life on it. The responsible approach is to look for somebody (or a group of somebodies) to take it over, rather than to try to automate the responsibilities.

@Netzblockierer @davidgerard What happened with Vim?

> Also, nobody actually knows if human intelligence is just finer grained stochastic prediction as well.
lmfao yes we do, people are not LLMs
@Li @davidgerard ah yeah the mark of someone who got one-shotted

> I’m a software engineer with 40 years experience (yeah, I’m OLD!), so ... I thought it would be a good idea to do the core structure for the new test suite in public on master
Ah fuck, he's gone senile.

@sharpcheddargoblin he's got a lot to be arrogant about! unfortunately,
@davidgerard Well, he has some great accomplishments, sure. Just another case of shitting all over your past successes. Sad to see.

@chiffchaff @davidgerard no one made him do it. He did it to himself and now refuses to take responsibility as clearly we are all morons and not Australia's only programmer...

@Netzblockierer @davidgerard What happened with Vim?
@hugoestr @Netzblockierer long time maintainer died, his most likely backup had died a few years before, so the new guy was overwhelmed and went straight to the slop machine. Two non-vibe forks, evi and vim-classic.

@Li @davidgerard has that “scientists are undecided on climate change” energy
i would rather not read a blost that is entirely product of slopsychosis tbh

@davidgerard i thought he didn't had enough people to help him fix open CVEs, so he used claude for that(?). tho, still its a bad decision to do.
its kind of sad to see a person ruin their entire reputation as the professional foss developer (as much as i know) because they decided "fuck it", and use llm for their code.
to clarify, im not entirely against llm-assisted code IF its a tiny-winy bit, but still, knowing that some part of the software is written using llm-assistance, feels wrong, and overall acts as the anti-ad for the software itself.
i will avoid rsync, because... im kind of didn't used it at all before, and the presence of the llm-assisted code is a sign that i probably shouldn't trust the software.
p.s. i dont use llms for coding in my own projects.

@Netzblockierer @davidgerard thanks so much. Time to explore those
