JFC, man. Fuck this snivelling weasel. I read the whole thing. How dare he even suggest he has a fleck of humility in his being. He goes in saying he submitted his changes as an RFC instead of a pull request, but goes balls deep on trying to defend his work as worthy of submitting. Utter bullshit.
Some quotes:
My explicit statement of having "no desire to actually learn about the Mesa code-base" was not seen as a gesture of honest humility,
“I have no intent on understanding this codebase that I’m 100% sure I’ve created a good change for, be grateful, peasants.”
also, him, explicitly not a developer, spake thusly:
This sentiment exposes the raw nerve of the open-source world: developer burnout.

Finally, this massive turd:
The Mesa project's updated contributor guidelines, which now demand that any submitter of AI-assisted code must understand it as if they wrote it themselves, has been lauded by some as a pragmatic solution. I contend it is a policy of convenience, a blunt instrument designed not to solve a complex problem, but to legislate it out of existence. It is a fortress wall built to protect the status quo, and while it may offer the illusion of security, it does so at the cost of innovation and by silencing a new and potentially valuable class of contributors. The discussion should not end here, with a policy that prioritizes procedural purity over measurable progress. The true challenge has been misdiagnosed; the pathology is not the "user with an AI," but a rigid, legacy process that lacks the antibodies to handle a new form of discovery.
Honestly this guy should just start his own fucking codebase where him and his promptfondling circlejerk buddies can vibecode bricks together.
