Question thread #148
It's time for another question thread!
The rules:
- You may ask any dev-related question you have in a comment. (It doesn't even need to be about Dreamwidth, although if it involves a language/library/framework/database Dreamwidth doesn't use, you will probably get answers pointing that out and suggesting a better place to ask.)
- You may also answer any question, using the guidelines given in To Answer, Or Not To Answer and in this comment thread.

How not to use that "co-authored-by Claude" thing I've been seeing in changelog lately?
(For clarity, I do not object to someone else using Claude or any other A"I" to modify code I wrote once it's been committed. The GPL license terms preclude that objection. I do not, however, want code I wrote myself to be attributed to anyone but me, or unclear in authorship.)

Entirely opt-in, it only shows if you've chosen to use Claude when writing code.

This space is super interesting and I'm very curious to see how it evolves. Given the way these AIs seem to be created (using all sorts of materials), I would not be unhappy with an outcome where you can't copyright what they make -- seems like it might be only fair.

Exactly this!
I am using it when there are old (multi-year old) PRs that I want to get merged, and then I'm having it help with writing the code. But the person still gets credited, along with Claude, since both contributed.
For PRs that are "newer", what I've been doing is leaving a review (which Claude sometimes helps with) but then it's up to the author what they want to do.
