As the other person said, a LOT of github projects with medium-large contributor bases are extremely hostile to AI code contributions. Some of this is about 'slop' coding not being up to par. A lot of it is also about people making their github contributions part of their resume, and thus not wanting the 'devaluation' of their time investments by AI contributions.
This comment works a lot better without the scare quotes.
Not really. I have both AI-written code and self-written code on my Github.
I can pass a technical interview just fine to prove my abilities. I don't get into pissing contests with others about GH contribs or FOSS project badges.
If someone can't prove their skill at coding beside pointing to their Github, or if they think that code contribs are some kind of badge of honor, I tend to look down on them. Being anti-LLM just to maintain the special green-box-based internet points they've built up in their head to feel better, is worthy of at least 'scare quote' derision imo.
