Sigh... I think it’s time to address some recent controversy.
For the past few months, I've been experimenting with AI coding agents to familiarize myself with this new programming paradigm. The result of that experiment is the samloader-rs project.
I chose "Samsung firmware downloading and flashing" because the problem space is small and self-contained compared to something like Magisk. It’s also genuinely useful to me; none of the existing tools fit my exact needs.
Regardless of what you think of the codebase, actual engineering work went into this. I reverse-engineered the LZ4 data transmission by myself because I didn’t know the brokkr-flash project existed at the time. With no code or docs to reference, I pulled out Ghidra for the first time. I’m the first to admit I’m an assembly noob, so my approach definitely has flaws.
And yes—99% of the code in samloader-rs was written by AI. I have never tried to hide this! But every single commit was reviewed, tested, and tightly guided by me. I drove the development and purposely delegated only the "coding" part to the agents.
The Samsung firmware scene is new to me, and I used AI to catch up to speed so I could make tangible progress. It’s not perfect; AI cannot replace years of human research.
However, seeing people use my learning curve and my use of AI to completely discredit my contribution to this project—and worse, use it to discredit my legacy on Magisk—is incredibly disheartening. I’m just trying to learn, build, and share in an area completely new to me.
I built Magisk on the shoulders of many existing open-source efforts, and today, forks and derivative projects stemming from it are flourishing. To me, open source has always been about learning. It’s deeply saddening to feel discouraged from doing exactly that, simply because I used AI as a tool.
Balancing a full-time job and starting a new family in a foreign country means real life takes a toll, and free time is incredibly sparse. Without these new AI tools, dedicating the time and effort required to dive into a brand-new area of interest would be nearly impossible.
To be honest, I kinda regret open-sourcing samloader-rs. It exposed my lack of knowledge on a new topic and thrust me right into the middle of the AI coding controversy. 🫤

If your expectation for Chelsea is to “win” something next season I suggest you focus on another sport, don’t waste your delusion.
Also they are by FAR the best wingers we have and they will not be teenagers forever.

Quenda is not a LW And you're never winning anything with 2 teenagers as your starting wingers 💀

The pathetic Jordanian regime is trying desperately to block Iranian missiles and drones from striking its master Zionist regime.

It is done.
My stepson dug a grave for Daisy, and I just laid her in it.
What started as a spot 3 years ago for Sadie is now a cemetery for Cotton, Princess, and Daisy, too.
I love each one of them and will see them in heaven.
Heartbreaking, but the cracks are filled with love.

Bruh, her late husband literally died last year, and she's already knocked up by another dude?
That's nasty work.
