Pushing commits to the Emacs repository requires a lot of attention
and care, so an assumption of being "lazy" while doing it is
unjustified, if not simply unfair.
Eli, that you get the right context: https://threevirtues.dev/
According to Larry Wall, the original author of the Perl programming
language, there are three great virtues of a programmer; Laziness,
Impatience and Hubris...
This is of course debatable, but it was definitely in that context, it
is Internet meme, you may read to understand it.
The only logical answer is that author was already in the AI workflow
for the code itself, so getting a commit message was just an extra
step
in that same session.
By your logic, maybe. I believe Yuan more than I believe your
unfounded insinuations, sorry.
As for believing Yuan—I respect that. I'm not trying to prove intent,
only to point out what the facts suggest logically. The force-push
removal, the short code, the use of Claude—these together paint a
picture that's hard to ignore. I am not asking you to change anything, I
am disagreeing, and expressing myself.
If you cannot see how it impacts public -- well, continue with whatever
is priority. Is not important.
But if you debate how it is believable, I will keep saying it is not.
You trust Yuan. I trust your judgment. But I also trust my own
reasoning. We can disagree without disrespect.
