> Zig values contributors over their contributions. Each contributor represents an investment by the Zig core team - the primary goal of reviewing and accepting PRs isn't to land new code, it's to help grow new contributors who can become trusted and prolific over time.
> LLM assistance breaks that completely. It doesn't matter if the LLM helps you submit a perfect PR to Zig
That’s the best rational I’ve seen so far, and fully support Zig decision here. I really appreciate their long term vision for both the community and actual project. I don’t think LLMs have such a great place in more collaborative efforts to be honest. Though we will see how things evolve, but I do see that when getting AI generated PRs I basically have to redo it myself (using LLMs, ironically… something I’m really starting to feel conflicted about)
i do think llms are great, i vibe code a lot of zig (working in a locally deployed semi-embedded on-prem device), and i think the zig policy is a good idea at least for the next five years.
