Some people before #LLMs

"But writing #documentation is so time-consuming. We have no time for that!"

"We won't adopt #Rust as our service is not performance-critical."

----------------

The same people after LLMs:

"We need some more docs over here... and please update that SKILL.md. Otherwise, how should our LLM navigate our codebase and know what to do?"

"#RustLang is awesome! LLMs make way fewer errors now with strict types!"

Just insane!

@janriemer And they still hate writing actual docs, so they let their LLM do it, meaning there's now lots of "docs" but most of it is slightly wrong and soon outdated (because they've got no feeling of ownership towards it).

Everything is really verbose, despite it being in bullet points, with lots of flowery adjectives and it reads like the shit people post on r/LinkedInLunatics.

Also, it's "translated" into 13 languages, with most of those versions making even less sense than the original.

@guenther Yes, so true! 💯

Especially the verbosity... it's so annoying! Slop upon slop...

@guenther at my last job, they added a GH action that added LLM generated documentation to every PR. It kept introducing typos in commands (`kubectl` -> `lubeclt`) and even the code LLM review bot flagged it 😅 @janriemer

@pitbuster lol :D

Did you quit or did they fire you after "replacing you with AI"?

@janriemer

@guenther I did quit, but for unrelated reasons (it was a job I wasn't planning staying long into) @janriemer
