> One of the things I'd typically do is peek at the commit history. Seeing what people worked on and how they did it tends to say a lot about a project

I could not care less about any of this. Truth is code, as it is now. I don't care when (and certainly not by who) a bug got introduced, it's here, shut up and fix it.

So your solution is to just read through all 1M+ lines of code?

And yours is to read through all 37000 commit messages??

don't be obtuse. Nobody needs to do either.

I don't think trying to understand LLM generated code is feasible for anything other than very small projects. IMO it's a big problem with using LLMs for coding. Sure, they can generate a bunch of stuff, but in some ways that just makes the real problems of software development even harder.
