If there’s a readme, there’s documentation. It might not be enough, it might be out of date, it might be wrong, but it’s still documentation.
Humans understand that their work is unfinished.
Remmber when Most Google products were marked Beta? those were the days when Google software was still great.
Google software was never great. It always was buggy, laggy and with horrendous UI.
Google Music was great. Stream my collection without any legwork other than uploading? Thank you! But fuck off for killing it.

Welcome to the c l o u d .
GMail and GReader were great and way ahead of the other players.
Closing GReader was what radicalized me against Google.

Those are right in with the em-dash, real people just don’t take the time…

the books the LLM were trained on that used the most em dashes used like 1 every 200-500 characters. LLMs use em dashes at a rate of like 1 every 40-50 characters. It’s not even CLOSE to human behavior.
I had a vibe coding coworker take over a project. Added 8,000 lines of documentation all dated 6 months in the future.

I’m starting to see posts on social media that are clearly an AI bot based on the wording (e.g. shuffling a few key pieces of info around and slightly rephrasing the post they’re replying to), but written in all lowercase. They’re trying to make it seem like a lazy/sloppy human wrote it when it’s really just a sloppy bot.
Who needs TODOs when you can just forget about the things and have less to do?
Just create a Jira ticket in the backlog and forget about it. That way it becomes a team/company process failing, not a personal one.
