Alda VigdísThe men who wouldn't document, lint and format their code so they themselves and their coworkers could maintain it 5 years ago, even to save their lives would totally do it nowadays to "help the AI".
hiiamfrompoland@alda I also wonder if I am the first to fire, because having documenting habit it seems AI can manage my projects better than of others who made a bunch of undocumented spaghetti code - so they are necessary because AI clearly can't replace them
@hiiamfrompoland Both documentation and UX seem to be considered to be "fluff" by the "I want results" types. Until it started facilitating the LLMs.
spinnyspinlock@alda @hiiamfrompoland it also irks me that I used to love to nicely format docs, use emojis to make it prettier (not excessively, or a replacement for text of course) and now that is seen as an AI signal. yuck
@spinnyspinlock @hiiamfrompoland As an avid user of em and en dashes and Oxford commas, I feel you.

Wait, oxford commas are an AI signal now? I am becoming more radicalized every day

@trampinheavy @spinnyspinlock @hiiamfrompoland It's a *perceived* AI signal just like the dashes, as a lot of Anglophone adults don't really read books anymore — which on the other hand get fed into the LLMs.
@alda @trampinheavy @hiiamfrompoland spent quite a lot of time trying to learn to write "correct" English, learning about style guides so I could write clearly, at least my poor grammar is now an anti-AI signal
