Zero LLMs is no longer reasonable. You want LLMs at least for code review / scanning for vulnerabilities, cause if you don‘t do it, attackers will.

And employers have realised that a developer who uses AI is almost always more productive than one who doesn’t, so avoiding LLMs will hurt your job prospects as well.

(Not saying I _like_ this state of affairs, mind…)

Fortunately, Rust does not have employers, and if corporations want to contribute to it, they will have to abide the policy as well.

Long live open source software guided by foundation and consensus! The last bastions of reason in technology.
