As AI increasingly answers "how," this book focuses on "why." Rather than focusing on how to build software, it asks why programming matters.

For AI: They have limited funds and AI creates a lot of unmanaged Abandoned-on-arrival code. This gives then grounds to remove the abandoned slop code bases.

Really not hard to understand why they would restrict it.

Reading their blog post, it’s a lot more than that. They even go into explaining water and electric waste.

If it was just cost, wouldn’t they want to ban unmanaged and abandoned on arrival code, projects wasting CO/CD with no community, etc, and not blanket ban llm generated content?

It’s clearly an ideology of the site and its users, which is perfectly fine. I just find it laughably conservative.
