Just released v3, which is now platform-agnostic. It ships with a GitHub provider, but you can technically look for clankers beyond GitHub.

🙋‍♂️ what if one client worked on every forge? 𝔣𝔬𝔯𝔤𝔢𝔰 is a new TypeScript library for issues, PRs, notifications, checks and webhooks across 12 forges ✨ forges.link

A few weeks ago, I shared the idea of analyzing contributors’ text for signs of automation. Now it's an app and a GitHub Action you can add to your anti-clanker Swiss Army knife. It's still an ongoing experiment, but it seems to capture the patterns in PR and issue descriptions reasonably well.

In this age of unlimited opportunities, slop forks, and reverse engineering, focusing on doing less but better is crucial.

Since everyone is closing PR contributions, I am inviting everyone to spam my project with your best PR slop and impossible issues, so I can test new features against AI spam. I offer the repo; you bring the tokens. It's a win-win.

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

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 🙏

If you are in Amsterdam this Thursday, come to the @vitest.dev x @npmx.dev meetup! guild.host/events/vites...

'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.

cooking something up with @matteogabriele.npmx.social and @danielroe.dev 👀

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.

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.

I haven't post anything from @zurichjs.com because I was too busy enjoying Zurichjs. I had a blast meeting so so so many beautiful people ❤️

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".

Oh yeah, it's GIF day today, and I finally made my first Noodles for @npmx.dev npmx.dev

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...

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 ❤️
