- arscan 2mo agoWell, yeah, it does. Effective and clear communication is really important and often really hard for engineers. It is said that one goal of stackoverflow was to help programmers learn how to write through practice, as it’s both very hard and very critical to their effectiveness: https://blog.codinghorror.com/how-to-write-without-writing/ https://blog.codinghorror.com/how-to-write-without-writing/ But programmers are also lazy*, so why put in the effort to improve when you can just get llms to do the work for you? * not necessarily in a bad way
- saghm 2mo agoI mean, given that the English you wrote above didn't make it clear that was the only part you were complaining about, it's worth it to consider that maybe precision is hard in natural language regardless of how it's written
- whateveracct 2mo agoit is pretty clear in context given what i was responding to
- InsideOutSanta 2mo agoMaybe I'm misunderstanding, too, but it seems to me that most people responding to you misunderstood your point.
- saghm 2mo agoI certainly didn't read it the way they intended!
