The decision, covered by Simon Willison, frames the ban as strategic: maintainers invest time reviewing contributions to mentor developers into trusted long-term contributors. If an LLM wrote the code, that mentorship is wasted. The wrinkle: Bun (acquired by Anthropic) runs a Zig fork and can't upstream AI-assisted improvements. I respect the reasoning even though I disagree with the conclusion. The assumption that LLM-assisted code prevents developer growth seems testable. Nobody's tested it.
