Developer builds linter to track AI-written code, then ignores data for nine months
A developer created rai-lint, a linter that blocks commits unless they include a footer stating how much code was AI-generated. After nine months of collecting data, the developer finally built a tool to analyze the accumulated footers. The project aims to enforce transparency around AI-assisted coding in version control.

The tool solves a real problem—AI attribution in commits—but the nine-month delay in analyzing the data suggests the developer's own workflow may not yet prove the tool's practical value.
