Welp, I guess LLMs truly helped a lot of people.

I'm not seeing mention of "LLM", "AI", or "chat" in tfa. Can you explain why you think LLMs played a role here?

So you trust random comments? I know what I'm talking about.

[whispem]

Some people tell I used LLMs but it's not true. I learned, a lot. It was long but it works now.

[whispem]

I didn't use LLMs for my projects. I learned by myself.

[ritcgab]

I just don't see the point of denying that. People use LLMs for coding for sure and it is not a bad thing, and no one can automate a full project 100% with LLMs.

What I saw is that you created initial commits one file at a time via GitHub's web UI, with multiple follow-up commits just to remove emojis from your scripts:

https://github.com/whispem/minikv/commit/c611897f05235ea4410...

https://github.com/whispem/minikv/commit/59369fcbb2a94c5dd07...

https://github.com/whispem/minikv/commit/0e86e9e328b21170e77...

https://github.com/whispem/minikv/commit/9a4cedcd30c3a00e7ea...

Care to share why those emojis were there in the first place? I guess the next step is to say the Rust codes are 100% handwritten but scripts/docs are AI-assisted? ;)

[whispem]

I already said that the code was 100% handwritten but the .md files and scripts. I don't see the problem here.

[jabron]

Well that's not true.
