- david422 7mo agoMy teammates hit the generate PR button. I'm not reading that, it's a summary of the changes that I am _already_ going to be looking at, wrapped in some flowery language about being "better architecture, cleaner code" etc. So those PRs may as well not have a description at all as far as I'm concerned.

- ErroneousBosh 7mo agoI'm taking a break from doing Clever Stuff and just working on the networks team at work, because there's a big infrastructure update happening and if you want a thing done right you have to do it yourself. Anyway. People are starting to log support tickets using Copilot. It's easily recognisable, and they just fire a Copilot-generated email into the Helldesk, which then means I have to pick through six paragraphs of scrool to find basic things like what's actually wrong and where. Apparently this is a great improvement for everyone over tickets that just say "John MacDonald's phone is crackling, extension number 2345" because that's somehow not informative enough for me to conf up a new one and throw it at the van driver to take to site next time he's passing, and then bring the broken one back for me to repair or scrap. Progress, eh?
- SamuelAdams 7mo agoI do this quite often, but I also instruct Claude to limit its output to 2-3 sentences or paragraphs, depending on the context. Also "Write this for a team of software developers / MBA's" goes a long way too. I also do the extra step of eliminating things that are not needed, or we review this during backlog refinement.
- lossyalgo 7mo agoSounds like a lot of work to ensure it's correct, without the guarantee that it's actually correct. Why not just do it oldschool? Is it really saving you that much time?
- geronimoe 7mo agoIt's weird that there's little to no focus on making AI describe problems coherently for use-cases like this?
- danielbln 7mo agoOur engineers deliver concise outputs because we have settled internally that that's what we want. Fluffy verbosity serves no one if there's little signal in there, so just give me the no-purple prose, no emojis, tight and concise bullet version without all the chaff.
- TranquilMarmot 7mo agoWe went from Jira tickets with one or two sentences, "Implement feature X. Here are some caveats: (simple bullet points, a few words each)" to literal _pages_ of full-on unreadable garbage.
