The GNOME.org Extensions hosting for GNOME Shell extensions will no longer accept new contributions with AI-generated code. A new rule has been added to their review guidelines to forbid AI-generated code.

Due to the growing number of GNOME Shell extensions looking to appear on extensions.gnome.org that were generated using AI, it's now prohibited. The new rule in their guidelines note that AI-generated code will be explicitly rejected

I don't think you understand what doing code reviews is like.

So someone submits terrible code. You don't get to just say "this is bad code" and reject it wholesale, you have to explain in exhaustive detail what the problems are. Doing otherwise leads to really toxic environments. It's killed countless projects

That's why you write rules. You don't have to argue if they need tests or not, you tap the sign and reject it without actually reviewing it if it doesn't meet the requirement

Same thing here. You open up vibe coded nonsense so you tap the sign and reject it without bothering to review it. Do the same thing with "bad code" as a reason and it starts insane drama.

People are really sensitive about their code, and there's a whole methodology around how to do without ending up in a screaming match
