Open source reproducible builds versus AI-generated code debate

Original: @ nohillside Zitat: "Software-Entwicklung an sich ist (vielleicht) für die Katz". Quelloffene Programme erzeugen reprodu

A software developer's remark that software development itself may be pointless has sparked discussion about reproducibility. The argument: open source projects like LibreOffice and darktable produce reproducible builds, meaning anyone can verify the binary matches the source code. With AI-generated code, that guarantee becomes much harder, raising questions about trust and verification in software supply chains.

Why now: Concerns over reproducibility and verification of AI-generated software are a current talking point in the open source community
