alt Hacker NewsThis weekend, I found an issue with Microsoft's new Golang version of sqlcmd. Ran Claude code, fixed the issue, which I wouldn't have done if agent stuff did not exist. The fix was contributed back to the project.
I think it is about who is contributing, intention, and various other nuances. I would still say it is net good for the ecosystem.

That’s the positive case IMO - a human, you, remain responsible for the fix. It doesn’t matter if AI helped.
The negative case are free running OpenClaw slop cannons that could even be malicious.

Genuinely interested in the PR, if you would kindly care to link it.

I think the problem is determining who is contributing, intention, and those other nuances take a human’s time and effort. And at some point the number of contributions becomes too much to sort through.
