The other issue is more personal: you can’t have conversations about code with people any more. Ask them for their personal opinion on a piece of code and you’ll just get a chatbot text extrusion back Makes the job a whole lot less fun and personable. This kinda bothers me more than the bug misrepresentation

@baldur@toot.cafe I feel the same. Another thing that I've noticed is how PR descriptions have gotten longer as people start using LLMs, and they have become less useful in the process. I believe the logic is: a good PR description is long and detailed, to make it easier on the reviewer. In reality though, the description ends up containing a lot of unnecessary fluff, and makes it *harder* for me to review. A single sentence by a human, pointing me to the one or two things to look out for / that aren't obvious are a lot more helpful than a long text, which recaps all the changes that the PR contains.

I actually like coding and talking about code. What’s the point of the job if you take away the fun part?
