People who previously wouldn't touch a README.md with a ten foot pole are now writing entire novels in Markdown for their AI tooling.

@frederic Yes. People who couldn't be arsed to write a single word of documentation for their human colleagues suddenly don't have any issue at all with writing miles and miles of instructions for their AI colleagues.

Same for people who previously couldn't find time to mentor a student or new junior colleague because "it's too much work to describe the task in enough detail". For their LLM? No problem at all. 🤷
That's the one that really gets under my skin.

@mmeier @frederic To be honest, in my anecdotal experience, these instructions are, in turn, typically LLM-generated themselves. Which is a whole other bag of worms.

@rabbit @frederic Oh yeah, that's another whole bag of weird I might just be too "left behind" to fully grasp.

@rabbit @mmeier @frederic With (uninformed) vibe coding it’s worms all the way down.
