alt Hacker NewsI'm curious what percentage of PRs are just the AI blindly writing code and submitting a PR without testing, and which have at least been locally tested to some degree. Any OS maintainers have any insights on this?

Thats the thing, what if the codebases had CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md files, which clearly dictated that
A) tests need to pass
B) anything you write needs tests
C) the code quality must adhere to these standards
etc.etc.... Helping the LLMs that people Vibe code with, produce better quality results.
By not having these in place, it means people who want to help out, cant. because htey dont understand whats going on.
adding stuff to these files, woudl allow developers to give guidelines / guardrails for developement using these agents.
Should the barrier of entry be someone who knows how to code? or should the barrier of entry be someone who is motivated to help with open-source software.

There’s no need to test the PR when you already asked the AI to not make any mistakes.
