Awesome, so the readme is rendered completely untrustworthy and useless. May as well not have it at all 👍
Not everything generated by AI is garbage. It writes working code- it’s not up to the standards of the best, but still…dude who cares? I just think it’s remarkable that we have this thing which is without question the greatest learning tool ever devised and people just shit all over it because sometimes it gets things wrong. Last time I checked, we humans have never been 100% right about anything
“Without question the great learning tool ever devised”? Damn, dude. That’s crazy. Why don’t you go and talk to your little chatbot friends and leave us actual humans alone?
I need to update my reddit bot checker script so it works with lemmy. Plenty of bots around here. Not saying you’re a bot, I’m just saying overall it’s about 50/50.
I appreciate when new users so clearly demonstrate what it’ll be like to interact with them in the future.
when you use AI to inflate a readme from a prompt, ppl will use AI to summarize the readme back to something like the prompt. so why not just cut out the middleman.
That’s not what you’re supposed to do. AI is easy to use, but it’s also easy to use it in dumb ways. I generate the readme once all the code is done.
Wouldn’t the readme be the easiest part as the dev would need to know the ins, outs and quirks of his own project?
of course the dev would know that, so would cursor or antigravity
The README should be the first thing you write, not the last.
If you follow a “docs driven development” approach then you use the README (and other docs) to guide the design of the project, and wind up with something that is categorically more usable as a result.
That makes the README both the most important step and the earliest because it lays the foundation for the project.
That also means you can’t use AI to write it because it’s starting from a clean slate.
You also shouldn’t use it because that’s the part that is the most important thing to carefully think through.
If you follow a “docs driven development” approach
ummmm why would i do that
Would you prefer to write your resume and cover letter by yourself?
Yes. That’s what I’ve done. Back in the day, before 2020, people actually still had jobs and, get this, they wrote their own CVs and cover letters! Even better, the jobs they were applying to had people screening applicants rather than just robots generating CVs and robots scanning them. There actually were human beings involved, which I know is a scary and alien concept.
It sounds that you’re just jealous of the younger generation because everything is a lot easier for them. I’m sure my dad was jealous of me when I got a PC and he had to use punch cards in grad school
I’ve got to be honest mate, things are not easier for the younger generation. AI screenings for open positions are horrendous and inaccurate. I’m not jealous if some people want to use AI to write their CVs. I totally understand wanting to opt out of the entire process.
I’m Gen Z, by the way. I’m just not a fan of chatbots, which you seem to be.

You can create an app by talking to your computer in your native language
Yeah, okay. Well, enjoy that. See ya! ✌️
Sorry, memes good to me but my downvoted will always be for drake
:( what did drake ever do to you?
Ask not what Drake has done to you, but what Drake has done to others, lol
Edit: note I did not downvote you for inquiring, that was someone else
