The writing style in their onboarding doc has common AI tells (in the quote: em dashes, “it’s not A, it’s B” sentence).

I can understand that, perhaps they want to fight fire with fire or don’t have time as they already say. Still, it all feels like inadequate half measures to me.

The entire post is clearly LLM generated. I get that a person clearly put together some thoughts, but prompting an LLM to 'turn this into a blog post' is the kind of low effort content I thought was not appropriate for HN.

At least bringing up the underlying method (restrict to contributors) has spawned the discussion about how that's probably a bad idea on the security side.

Well it is a .ai domain and they run some kind of AI product (unclear what exactly) so I guess they just don't see an issue with that sort of thing. I don't know if people are happily reading stuff like this or if they just get the "AI summary"
Using AI for your own project is different than being overwhelmed by AI contributions from other people/bots
I hope he is going to find the seasoned engineers that he is looking for
