It sounds like you already know how to improve your comments, how about just doing those things.

It sounds like you already know how to improve your comments, how about just doing those things.
- raincole 7mo agoToo much effort, bruh.
- verdverm 7mo agoCapitalization is apparently too much effort for some now. Who would have thought the Ai would make us so lazy so quickly? Who cares about people with reading disabilities, let's shift burden onto the reader. My time is better spent managing my Ais.
- charcircuit 7mo ago>onto the reader Or the reader's AI who is able to format or translate the text to make it easier to read for the reader.
- ASalazarMX 7mo agoThis started years before LLMs, as a way of signaling unconventional thinking. Maybe influenced by the UX of instant messaging.
- verdverm 7mo agoThat's my general understanding too. More recently people have adopted it as a way to not look like Ai, I've had several cite that as their rationale. There has been a notable uptick since the Ai step function change at the end of last year, along with all the other patterns we see, such as the one that underlies this new HN rule.
- lucumo 7mo agoThere's something viscerally distasteful about a one-liner comment berating the author of a long thoughful comment for exerting too little effort.
- Cthulhu_ 7mo agoIMO, if it's too much effort to improve one's comments, then it's too much effort to write them in the first place.
- tzs 7mo agoWell, I keep missing the "serve"/"server" thing because spell checkers think "server" is a real word so don't flag it. :-)
- Hnrobert42 7mo agoGetting that wrong is a small price to pay. Plus, people know what you mean.
- topaz0 7mo agoI'm happy to forgive that kind of small typo in a hacker news comment, but generally it's easy to catch these things by just reading over the thing one time. If you're putting any amount of thought into your contribution it should be much faster to read it over one time than it was to write in the first place.
