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

    I love that CLAUDE.md follows the usual all caps of README/CHANGELOG. It feels like you’re Claude’s mom yelling at it from the porch to stop playing in the street If only you could yell it’s full name Like what even is Claude Anthropic’s middle name

    @qdot Try adding SHARED-CODING-STANDARDS.md, putting your ideas for less annoying practices in there and submit a PR for the the team to review. Coding to avoid every team member's individual annoyances is not the way.

    @qdot is checking in CLAUDE.md the 202x variant of checking in .idea AND .eclipse, and then reformatting all files on every commit?

    @qdot I understand you being annoyed when your name is Claude. I also understand you being annoyed by coworkers using vibe coding and commiting that file as if it belongs to the repository. Why are your coworkers using "git commit -a"? You should talk to them. I doubt adding their names as markdown files to the repository is a good measure to teach people, even when you feel offended by their behaviour.

    @qdot How sharper than a serpent’s tooth is the feedback I get from my team when I suggest that they really should collaborate with a tech writer to make their care and handling manual more accessible.

    @qdot@buttplug.engineer This reminds me of the folder of bookmarks I had with waterfall noise EQ'd to tune out specific co-workers​:neobread_laugh:​
