@tmcw Well, if the premise is that there's no way to tell if the person is demonstrating rigor (commit msgs are slop and no issues), then you're kind of begging the question of how to evaluate it. But "all in" on AI _can_ bear signs of rigor. What if there were decent issues that the llm used? What if the repos demonstrated a variety of ways to try to get the llm to build the same thing? What if there were a repo for a project for a novel tool that addressed a pain point in llm-assisted dev?
@tmcw Theoretically, I would be trying to demonstrate that I am taking advantage of the latest tools to both experiment quickly and build with exhausting rigor. More modestly, maybe I would just be trying to show that I'm exploring the "cutting edge." In your position, I would spend a little effort trying to figure out if that's what I'm looking at, but if it really just looks like nothing but lazy slop, well... that's who they are
"Organize code by what it does, not what it is" has always been my preference. Love seeing someone say it so well ❤️ https://mact.me/8i
Ned BatchelderGit won't track empty directories (because at heart it only tracks files). Common advice is to add a '.gitkeep' file so the directory isn't empty and git will make the directory.
EVEN BETTER ADVICE: put a README in the directory explaining what the empty directory is for and what will eventually be there.

I recently saw some wag label all scroll-focused time-eating phone use as "eye cigarettes” and it's stuck that way in my head now.
Les Orchard@danmactough Oh yeah, and this inverter to actually produce AC power from the batteries.
"people would think about this stuff more rationally if it were a TV show like Pluribus or Severance. Why did they really do what they did? ... It's funny people have a clarity about fictional stuff that they don't have for real-world things like war, health insurance, the cost of eggs and gestapo tactics" http://scripting.com/2026/01/09.html#a163009
for me, it started to hit home with Bowie... it's been really fucking sad to see all the artists of the generation that formed me die one by one
