ongoing by Tim Bray · Un-Racing Issues

Tim Bray recounts fixing a nasty data race in his Quamina Go library, detailing a detour through Erlang-style channel accumulators, a misleading unit test that masked the real performance cause, and lessons about trusting profilers. He also reflects on his decision to stop accepting Claude-authored PRs going forward, citing discomfort with AI's externalities and his own inability to fully trust or understand a chunk of AI-generated code already merged into the project, while still accepting AI-found vulnerability reports.
