## What Jamie wrote

Mitchell looks at the commit history of this repository to see how the developer used AI to create it.

> Kenton included the prompt used to generate code in every commit, which made this exploration possible. As we begin to lean more heavily on AI tools within development, this practice will become increasingly important. Sometimes, the original prompt is more valuable (and easier) to review than the resulting code—especially when an engineer declares an incorrect assumption that the model blindly follows.

This to me is further validation that we are not seeing the death of software engineering, but instead we are seeing a very new and novel way of creating software and working with different tools and capabilities. 

> This OAuth library represents something larger than a technical milestone—it's evidence of a new creative dynamic emerging. One where artificial intelligence handles mechanical implementation while humans provide direction, context, and judgment.

Super interesting.
