The shear amount of files and code and the consistency of which it was written (this could also be due to golang’s style enforcement). If written by a person, they’re beyond OCD levels of organized.

• I started this project in 2017, I didn’t even publish the prototypes it went through .

• I code with vim and have a script that generate template license headers in files.

• I use LLMs to generate better comments for importent core components but if you browse the code you will find much more personal comments with obvious typos, I am not native English speaker.

Some repetitive unit tests and code sections are made with LLMs

• I make almost every commit manually as I work in a private git worktree and cherry-pick the features to the public one

Lastly I never paid for a single AI provider since ChatGPT appeared. I used the trial version of Copilot autocompletion for 2 months and never since then.

I am not anti-AI, all LLMs are self hosted with llama.cpp. I do however despise AI slop projects.

Happy to answer any questions :)

Go check the commit history. All the code base is handwritten except for a few repetitive tests. I kept the original git history.

The commments are partly made with LLMs but the majority are my own.

The README is manually written only using LLM as a helper. The emojis are there to make the Readme less raw and I personally hate them but a lot of people now skip a project if it’s 100% text.
