@frederic@chaos.social Yes. People who couldn't be arsed to write a single word of documentation for their human colleagues suddenly don't have any issue at all with writing miles and miles of instructions for their AI colleagues.

@frederic often times it is not even a good documentation or README.md for humans still.

@frederic Yes, And people who celebrated the freedom of "just talking to the computer in human language" and "getting rid of formal programming languages" are now definiing specifications how a good AGENT.md or RULES.md or SKILLS.md has to be written ... to formalize the language to talk to the computers
