This is basically exactly correct. The problem with LLM output is usually code quality, and asking to merge garbage code is rude. If you and your tools can do good work, fine. If you can't, get good. Managing to make a hack that kind of works is not enough to contribute to sustainable development!

I like seeing the dev of the SNES core on the Pocket actually telling one of these dudes off. Holy shit.

This is not a new problem. Five years ago it was rude to run auto formatting rules on code that obviously used a different standard. Ten years ago it was rude to use different structures and naming conventions. There is more to the work of software development than a currently functional product.

This means it’s much easier to hack something together for personal use than it is to publish it for public consumption. This, too, is standard.
