    Wojciakowski took the critiques on board. “Wow, tough crowd … I’ve learned today that you are sensitive to ensuring human readability.”

    Christ, what an asshole.

      Completely tone deaf. At least they reconsidered and merged the PR after the backlash.

      It’s even worse when you add the next few words:

      I’ve learned today that you are sensitive to ensuring human readability over any concerns in regard to AI consumption

      The machine readable docs is the docstrings (or XML Documentation Comments or whatev), and the code itself. LLMs have completely melted these people’s brains.

      Imagine that.

      To be fair, he did ultimately merge the changes. He deserves to be ridiculed for the awful priorities, but a lot of people would dig in.

    [0] - I…am not inviting these. the promptfans just Defend their twisted little hearts away, unasked. it is tedious.
