Hi
for me the discussion on the LLM guidelines to include in the
contributing.md could be missing two points:
1. We do not 'explicitly encourage' users to use LLMs
2. The "check the code with your own brain" could contain somewhere a
proposition like: "check the code with your own brain before executing
it on your host, and/or execute it in an isolated environment"
I just want to share my non-blocking-opinion and for me the proposed
text of contributing.md (as per
https://github.com/libremesh/lime-packages/pull/1275)
could be published as is.
