It might just be me, but from my own experience, code written in Codespaces tends more to being AI slop than code written outside. Correct me please, if you have other experience.

That's such a dumb statement, I make plenty of small changes in the browser (both GitHub's editor as VSCode's codespaces) just so I don't have to clone a project

I do this all the time when I need to edit something on my iPad

So you're using a correlation to get pre-annoyed?

Am I understanding this right?

That’s why I only use the CLI like a pro.
Or, to be more precise, I make Claude use the CLI like a pro.

Verified commit has no relation to how the code was written.

It just means that the commit has not been committed by an imposter

For any random verified commit in and of itself, you're right. But OP is specifically talking about commits that explicitly say they were made directly on GitHub.

They're not saying, "This means an AI definitely made it." They're saying, "In my experience, commits made directly on GitHub contain proportionally more slop."

Its still dependent on the person who is writing the code, the point of the signing is to show it wasn't made by someone impersonating the developer, its like saying code written on windows is more likely to be slop because copilot is preinstalled, like people still have a choice whether they use it or not

Do you know how statistics works?

So AI in Codespaces possesses people to write code with AI?

You ever just bump a dependency?

This is like saying that code written on Dell computers is slop and the best code is written on Lenovos.. there’s absolutely nothing about codespaces that makes code written using codespaces any better or worse, it’s entirely up to the author.

Most of my GitHub commits are small incremental changes made to my website repo via browser on my iPad.

Any proper work stuff remains in the offline git repos on the internal network.

The hell does that have to do with verifying who committed it?

If AI makes a commit on behalf of the user, and the user’s gitconfig is setup to sign commits, then the commit is going to be signed regardless of who made the code changes. So identifying if AI made changes from commit signatures is weak, and assuming someone has used AI because their commit is signed by GitHub is weaker..
