I have a visceral "AI" sensor that triggers when I see these:
"Rust Implementation (v2)"
"Performance Benchmarks (Validated)"
Human beings don't self-validate explicitly like that. AI loves doing it.
You generate code, there's a bug, you ask for a fix, your AI of choice will always output with:
*** Fix build issue ***
*** End fix ***
and then call it "Version 2 (Validated)".
Sometimes it's more subtle, but you can feel it, it loves adding "confirmed", "working", "validated".
I have a project with a bunch of compose files that define the services I self host. I "deploy" the project by sshing into my server and doing "git pull" which means I'm often making changes that don't get tested before committing to source control. As a result I have long chains of commits like:
And now I'm wondering if I've been an llm this whole time
Make your changes in a new branch and rebase/squash when you push it to main.
This also means modifying your
git pullcommand to pull the correct branch. A small change perhaps, but may be harder than just committing to main lol.I had a similar problem with GitHub actions, it was hard to test without messing up the main repo history.
