I work in an online game-development community where the culture is opposed to using AI for anything, even coding. The community is built around an open-source game-development software toolchain, as well as other web apps for distributing, playing, reviewing, and discussing those games.I've filed PRs against the dev software toolchain in the past, but the toolchain is pretty complicated, (including tools written in multiple programming languages) and it's always been extremely difficult to wrap my head around it, so I usually didn't bother.In 2026, it's been way, way easier for me to fix bugs in that toolchain using LLMs. LLMs have no problem switching between programming languages, adding debug tracing to trace the flow of a bug through each layer, generating automated tests to reproduce the bug, and then fixing the bug correctly.Of course, the problem then is: how would I convince the team to merge a PR containing code that was entirely LLM generated, when that's explicitly against ...
