I really appreciate this point from mitchellh. Giving thoughtful constructive feedback to help a junior developer improve is a gift. Yet it would be a waste of time if the PR submitter is just going to pass it to an AI without learning from it.

This is sufficiently confusing that someone is asking if this applies to tab completion. They commit actually says

So if you take this literally you're going to be disclosing every yasnippet expansion that completes boilerplate.
The policy as written isn't sensible and I don't think it's entirely coming from a sensible place.
Junior developers need to learn how to code with AI because that's what coding is now. Not that he has to help them. But it does read a bit weird to toot your horn about how important it is to be helpful until it comes to helping people understand how to navigate the current environment then it's not worth your time.
Rather: this is what coding is now in some Silicon Valley bubbles.
This remark seems very US-centric to me. In my observation, many people are much more skeptical concerning whether AI is actually useful beyond some gimmicky applications.
