Kenton Varda 禁止团队使用 AI 编写变更描述

Quoting Kenton Varda

Why we picked it

Kenton Varda 分享了亲身踩的坑:AI 写的 commit 信息越看越糊涂。如果你也在用 AI 辅助写代码注释,这条经验能帮你避开大坑。

Kenton Varda 宣布暂停团队使用 AI 编写 PR 和 commit 信息。他认为 AI 生成的描述只罗列代码细节,却缺失高层上下文,导致评审时反而更难理解。

这与传统人工编写描述相比,效率更低。Varda 强调,开发者需要提供代码改动背后的设计意图,而非重复代码本身。

Quoting Kenton Varda

I just declared a moratorium against AI-written change descriptions (e.g. PR and commit messages, also issues/tickets) from my team. AI was writing change descriptions that were worse than useless to me as I tried to review PRs: outlining details of the code that could easily be seen by looking at the code, but omitting the higher-level framing needed to understand broadly what the code is doing. — Kenton Varda Tags: kenton-varda , ai-assisted-programming , generative-ai , ai , llms
