  • Ironically, with a bit of effort, it’s quite possible to get an LLM to mimic your own house style and replicate it quite well.

    You can use it as an editor or hostile reviewer or just bounce ideas off it, as long as you own the process.

    Language transformation is literally what they exist for.

    But the fact that the article failed to do this and produced generic slop is the actual insult. Not the fact that they used AI.

    Like, we get it - portfolio slop / LinkedIn brain / look at me, look at me.

    I don’t mind you using AI, but could you at least steer it a bit and do more than minimal effort? Or should I get my ai to talk to your ai?


  • True…but the arguably better / more defensive stance is “accept no PR unless the user explains wtf it does and/or I personally trust them”.

    Iow, stop accepting PRs from randos - clanker or meatbag - full stop. The lowest cognitive load is “none”.

    I don’t know you / we can’t have a convo why you sent me this? Into the bin.

    (In my humble opinion, for a small or new project, that’s a cleaner footing anyway)

    The claude.md file is cute, but I don’t think a claude would actually be tripped up by that.

    It’s not such a high bar to pass to be honest with you. You’d probably need something more subtle, at which point you’re just shooting yourself in the foot.

    The meow thing is more like a philosophical line in the sand than anything else and I respect it.

    But given the way that Codeberg actually blocks crawlers and agents (and how Claude works), it probably doesn’t really do what we think it does.



  • Disagree with the phrasing myself.

    Yes “please ensure …” is nominally more proactive but “be prepared to explain” should force a technical framing in the first place, because the poster in on notice they may be challenged. Don’t write slop, read the room etc. It also explains why the rule exists / what the fail state is.

    The first one just sounds like so much corpo HR double speak.

    Be bold. Say what you mean - “We talk shop here. Be prepared to put up or shut up, else bonk”.

    If the user can justify their question (if/when queried), it doesn’t matter whether the question is hardware, software or other - it will have a grain.

    Additionally it might give people an foothold into OPs thinking process / whether they selected the right room in the first place.

    My $0.02 and YMMV

    Funny, I’ve had the exact opposite experience reddit vs lemmy. People are much more supportive here.

    Reddit is especially a shithole for that exact use case (sharing tech projects), because (I suspect) pecking order games and performing for imaginary audiences. Between that and the slop…yeah, nah. Fuck Reddit.

    YMMV
