I love zig. similarly, the zig anti-llm policy makes no sense and is weirdly puritanical. thus I feel like I'll never really talk about zig to zig community members.
In the Zig core team we have the right to decide how we want to conduct the development of our open source project, and that decision is based in good part on the same factors presented in this post, which are significantly more important than validating your FOMO.
Likewise, in your projects you can do whatever you want. That was true before LLMs and is just as true now. Thinking otherwise is a weird form of open source kleptomania induced by listening to too many techfluencers, in my opinion :^)
In my open source projects I decide which tasks I'm willing to delegate and which tasks I want to take on myself and, of those that I'm willing to delegate, I decide who gets to take on them. This includes the fact that, even if the quickest way to get something done is to delegate it to an LLM, if I want to do it myself for personal growth, I will still do it myself.
Conversely, it should go without saying that if I want to use LLMs, that's my right and whoever wants to complain can go fork (the repo) themselves.
The comment he is responding to expresses contempt for Zig’s LLM policy, and does so in a thread that is unrelated to Zig’s LLM policy. I think he’s showing some frustration here, but frankly I get it. Would anybody like to comment on the post?
I think all he’s saying is ‘feel free to use LLMs however you like, that isn’t related to how we use them on our project’. (I have no affiliation to Loris or the Zig project, just offering a suggested translation.)

Is that a nod to @pjmlp :D ?

This comment confirms the GP's point, which I say as admirer of Zig and as an AI agnostic. The contempt expressed outstrips the truth of your points.

I can't even parse your messaging here due to snark or something. please restate.
your manner of speaking reinforces my position stated prior.
sidenote: I listen to zero "techfluencers".
