No memes/shitposts/low-effort posts, please.
That includes posts generated by LLMs. It doesn’t matter if you “don’t have the time” or “would’ve written the same anyway”, or if “everyone’s doing it geez get with the times”.
For now it’ll also include “AI”-assisted projects that haven't had at least two months of (public, verifiable) dev time behind them.

IIRC, Discord is famous for making rewrites in rust even before LLMs; eg: that time they rewrote their backend from Go to Rust (but i'd still not be too much trustful; they switched to Rust because Go had a bug but that bug was actually fixed since a few releases and they could've just updated but instead choose to rewrite)
To be fair, that might have just been the final straw that broke the camel's back. I always think of this rant, which definitely feels like there's probably lots of shortcomings that you can look past momentarily, but eventually come back to haunt you: https://fasterthanli.me/articles/i-want-off-mr-golangs-wild-ride
