Quoting Kenton Varda

# A quote from Kenton Varda Source: [https://simonwillison.net/2026/Jul/8/kenton-varda/](https://simonwillison.net/2026/Jul/8/kenton-varda/) 8th July 2026 > I just declared a moratorium against AI\-written change descriptions \(e\.g\. PR and commit messages, also issues/tickets\) from my team\. AI was writing change descriptions that were worse than useless to me as I tried to review PRs: outlining details of the code that could easily be seen by looking at the code, but omitting the higher\-level framing needed to understand broadly what the code is doing\. —[Kenton Varda](https://twitter.com/kentonvarda/status/2074924213983740233) Posted[8th July 2026](https://simonwillison.net/2026/Jul/8/)at 8:03 pm ## Recent articles - [sqlite\-utils 4\.0, now with database schema migrations](https://simonwillison.net/2026/Jul/7/sqlite-utils-4/)\- 7th July 2026 - [sqlite\-utils 4\.0rc2, mostly written by Claude Fable \(for about $149\.25\)](https://simonwillison.net/2026/Jul/5/sqlite-utils-fable/)\- 5th July 2026 - [Have your agent record video demos of its work with shot\-scraper video](https://simonwillison.net/2026/Jun/30/shot-scraper-video/)\- 30th June 2026 This is a**quotation**collected by Simon Willison, posted on[8th July 2026](https://simonwillison.net/2026/Jul/8/)\.
