Looking at all the unmerged pull requests in ripgrep, you can see what's going on. I will not link him here, but for instance, there's a "Senior Software Engineer at Microsoft", whose agent created 260 PRs in 211 repos with trivial typo fixes in code comments(!). Almost all of them are rejected (including those in ripgrep), but of course, a few get merged and he now boasts he "contributed" to sqlalchemy, Nim and others... What a time to be alive.

This is such a refreshing policy. AI code is welcome as long as it's good, but comments have to be human.
If someone can't take the time to write their own replies (in their own words), then it feels fair to assume that they didn't take the time to test, review, and clean whatever code they submitted.

Sounds about as sane as you could possibly be given the climate.

Wasn't uv bought by an AI company?

burntsushi also works in this company (or worked?). he is actually a developer of uv (or was a couple years ago?)
Was curious and astral put up their AI policy a couple weeks before the acquisition. Of course, it's quite possible they already knew it was happening: https://github.com/astral-sh/.github/pull/1
That said, I'm kind of surprised ripgrep hasn't been acquired by anyone, considering all the major AI agents use it pretty heavily.

well, ripgrep is not a company.. what means to "buy" an open source project?
companies either "fund" open source developers (usually a pittance), "contribute" code, or if all fails "fork" them, but straight buying, that's something I never see

This is a very elegant way of dealing with slop, whilst still reaping the benefits of smart people using AI to do useful things.
