The title should be changed to "LLVM AI tool policy: human in the loop".
At the moment it's "We don't need more contributors who aren't programmers to contribute code," which is from a reply and isn't representative of the original post.
The HN guidelines say: please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize.
I'll say it as it is: if you can't read code, but have a friend write it for you, you are in fact the wrong person to submit it, since you are the most exhausting person to deal with.
A human in the loop that doesn't understand what is going on but still pushes isn't only useless, but actively harmful.
Seconded, the original title ("We don't need more contributors who aren't programmers to contribute code") caricatured what seems like an eminently measured and sensible policy change.
