Yes, tsconfig is a mess to scope. It needs a re-design to allow glob-based matching for all options and in typescript instead of jsonc.

I think tsdown is much better suited for CLI and library builds. Vite has many web-isms that don't matter for these.

I think it's just a case of brain drain, followed by reckless AI adoption which both drove the quality down.

It's definitely helpful to know whether a PR was AI-assisted or not and the git attribution line is a simple and effective way of communicating that.

I also recommend specifying model name and version so the maintainer knows upfront the level of slop they are dealing with.

Problem with Go is the type system is rudimentary, so you can't "restrict" AIs as well as you could in Typescript.

Still worth it imho for important code, but it shows that they are hitting a ceiling while trying to improve the model which they try to solve by making it more token-inefficient.

Seems so silly that they won't support `effortLevel: "max"` while a env var is perfectly fine.
