Just told a dev acting coked up due to LLM coding that “you just built the code equivalent of cop rock”
Unfortunately we are far enough from the 90s that they did not understand how perfect my metaphor was

inspired by CLAUDE.md, I’ve started putting markdown files named after coworkers into work code repos so I can remind them to stop doing shit to the codebase that annoys me
for some reason they’re all mad at me now, which means ill be adding commands to JEREMY.md for an attitude adjustment

My favorite part of the replit llm db deletion story is when the dev made the llm write an apology letter to the team after it did something he didn’t want it to do.
That letter cost him tokens and therefore money to generate. Just so he could have an emotional win on something without emotion.
