This profile is not managed by Terraform. Or, as my "professional" email signature says, "IT expert and mixed media artificer". A late millennial, yet I grew up with a ZX Spectrum and used an i486 as my main PC well into 00s. I have a degree in electrical engineering, majored in industrial and microelectronics, but somehow ended up building massively distributed computer systems. SCADA with sensors scattered across hundreds of miles, L7 balancing for millions of users, corporate video call infrastructure, helping to delete ~petabyte of data a day, and until recently keeping the lights on for a major cloud provider. I learned a lot during my long-ish career, and this knowledge makes me sad and keeps me up at night sometimes. I never post here in a "working adult" capacity, and wouldn't dare to speak for my current or past employers. Instead, I engage in playful shitpost and creative exploration of technologies that have no commercial applications. Feel free to DM me, I'll try to reply to all!

RE: @swags@social.treehouse.systems
Today was the SuperTux 0.7.0 release (yay!), but some of us were alarmed by the "Claude contributed to this repo" message on GitHub (oh no!)
Well, I've learned a few things from the discussion about this topic.
A single PR "co-authored by Claude" has slipped through. The code was written by a human (according to the commit), then properly reviewed and eventually merged by a maintainer. The Claude contribution is attributed solely to the code comments added through a mid-PR-flow commit update.
And now the commit history will show Claude as a contributor. It might be impossible to rewrite it. Rewriting kind of goes against the idea of having the git history, too. Even if that was possible, it's an extra effort which not all maintainers can prioritise.
So: seeing "Claude was here" in a GitHub repo is a "red flag", but it shouldn't be "therefore guilty of slop and LLM proliferation by default"; please use your head/best judgement.
I guess it is a cautionary tale for the maintainers, too :tiredcat:
