Yeah, and surely they also wrote the 131KB unreadable-wall-of-text README themselves. That's like 1/9th Moby Dick, to put into perspective.

- EGreg 6d agoYes, I actually iterated a lot on that README and personally directed the LLM to produce every section in there, as an artifact. Normally it would produce a much shorter README, and I should probably have split it up. That is exactly what I did on the actual website. The README is no longer than nginx documentation, though, or many manfiles of programs. The README explains all the features in one file, with results of actual benchmarks. I asked it to put emojis in there as well. I use LLMs in my toolchain, same as I also use compilers. In fact, I use the LLMs to generate end-to-end test suites, and the test running is automated as well.
- thrance 6d agoI don't care how much you were or were not involved with the README, no one is reading through all that. If you can't be arsed to, at the very least, write the prose around your project, why should we devote any time engaging with it? > I use LLMs in my toolchain, same as I also use compilers.

- EGreg 6d agoAlright, so version 1.3 has a much shorter README: https://github.com/Qbix/webserver https://github.com/Qbix/webserver What do you think?
