iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Too many people are giving up on OSS. We are problem-solvers, so let's solve the problem. Together.

I feel like these newly discovered AI-only developers are acting like leaders of a shady cult. They say I need to surrender to the inevitable. The pressure. Stop fighting and just reach the final stage of grief: acceptance. My only stage is skepticism. To all of them, blink twice if you need help

My AI contribution policy has been improved and is now part of ai-policy.dev, an open-source collection of AI policies. It's not a silver bullet. You can't enforce a policy programmatically, but it helps you and everyone contributing understand where your project stands.

Today we're launching ai-policy.dev! A collaboration of me, @danielroe.dev and @matteogabriele.npmx.social - this provides a few human curated AI contribution policies you can choose from. Our hope is that this will help you better define your stance and what kind of contributions you accept 🙏

'Vibecoding' is only a year old, but it feels like it's been here forever. Who knew the future of software would look like this.

This is my take on AI contribution policy: it is not a layer of your workflow I need to know about, and you need to be engaged enough to fool me.

Using AI
This project does not accept AI usage.

If we smell AI, we close the Issue/PR.
If we see automated comments, we close the Issue/PR.
If AgentScan flags you as automation, we close the Issue/PR.
The only way you can use AI in this repository is if we don't know and we don't find out. Fake it till you make it.

AI is not a layer of your workflow we need to know about. As far as we're concerned, you're a real developer who wants to collaborate with us in making OSS a beautiful place to keep innovating and sharing.

We apologize in advance if this affects contributions made with good intentions, but these are challenging times, and we're making deliberate choices about how we want this project to evolve.

You might think I'm crazy, but yesterday I worked on my website, and I was in the zone for hours, like the good old days. It was just me, a mechanical keyboard, a nice VSCode theme paired with a good font, good music in my headphones, some coffee, and my brain. Let's all slow down a bit.

AgentScan data, gathered hourly from 400 repos, clearly shows that for every PR you receive during the week-end, 1/3 to 1/2 will most likely be from an agent. Now using AgentScan helps OSS maintainers triage, to keep week-ends enjoyable.

Not sure why this isn't enabled by default, but if you are authoring a GitHub Action, turn on "Enable release immutability".

GitHub doesn't show how many projects use your GitHub Action or GitHub App, so I wrote a custom script to retrieve that information for AgentScan. I didn't expect this many projects ❤️ I'm stoked on one end and sad on the other for the mess AI spam is causing. Stay positive 💪

I think we can all agree that the "good first issue" label is effectively dead.

Trust is the most valuable thing we're losing in OSS these days. Join communities, chat, have a laugh, learn how to give and accept feedback, and help out your favorite projects with some good old-fashioned code & love.

Wrote a userscript that adds "AI" labels to users detected by agentscan.tools (by @matteogabriele.npmx.social)! Much needed hints to judge "contributions" these days. 👉 github.com/bluwy/github...

3 screenshots: one adds the "AI" label to detected authors on the GitHub PR list, one adds the "AI" label to a detected author of a PR, and one adds a "Report to AgentScan" menu item for PR comments

Having someone like Uncle Bob preach clean code and AI at the same time makes absolutely no sense.

I know you don't want to read this, but you're getting dumber each time you make a prompt. This week, you are literally less smart than last week.

i've written up some thoughts about AI in the open source world, and more importantly, why humanity is important. its a bit wordy and doomy but this is an important topic right now. there is still a lot of good in the OSS world at least ❤️

If you'd like to see hourly clanker activity, you can now go to agentscan.tools/health and switch between daily and hourly views. Don't forget to like and subscribe github.com/MatteoGabrie... I'm kidding; there's no subscribe, but I always wanted to say it. ❤️

I feel like we might have stopped trying to struggle, understand, refactor, and evolve. DX issues have just been assigned to a different entity that then tells us what to do next.

New feature in AgentScan GitHub app: the honeypot comment. This comment is intended to welcome regular users, but it also contains a hidden comment that only AI agents will read. This will prompt them to write a specific custom string that will immediately close the PR and add a label as automations

@npmx.dev is not just a browser for packages, it's mostly a reminder that we can take internet back in our hands. You want it, you build it.

When you rely on a calculator for calculations, you are likely to lose your ability to perform basic math. If you offload your entire thought process and skills, you'll become incapable of doing anything on your own. They won't stop selling you the service, but you can stop using it.

You're looking for an idea, or maybe you don't even know you need one yet, but you'll be glad when it shows up. Go wash the dishes. No music. No TV. Nothing. Just wash the dishes.

I don't want to be an alarmist, but we are probably fucked if a single company consumes as much energy as countries like New Zealand or Morocco. Just saying.

So you guys are calling an AI that calls multiple AIs, which then opens a PR with the code that is then reviewed by another AI, which then triggers the previous AI(s) to implement those changes, push them, and repeat until the PR is approved, then merge?
