Show me the Pull Requests.
I keep hearing #AI boosters / talking heads claiming that #LLMs have transformed software development, "it's not just about prototyping - AI is writing solid production code", etc.
So here's a challenge:
Share some AI-derived pull requests that deal with non-obvious corner cases or non-trivial bugs from mature #opensource projects. I'll also accept high-quality documentation that isn't just the sort of wasted space & slop that I always tell juniors not to write.
