Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

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.

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.

Oh get fucked. This was exactly my fear, as AI use ramps up, the web will quickly be designed to cater to AIs over real humans.

Get double fucked, mattwojo of Microsoft. Take that stupid handlebar mustache and shove it up your ass.
