I designed those error messages to be good for *humans*. @ekuber@hachyderm.io and crew worked hard to make the diagnostics as good as they are today.
Ngl feeling a bit sick as this sinks in that my suspicions are likely correct.

@soph@grrl.me It is exhausting that all of a sudden some people care about documentation and diagnostics not because it is good for humans/workers, but rather to aid their automatons. I hope that the effort put to make it easier for LLMs is done in such a way that it *also* aids humans. But I'm not holding my breath.

@soph@grrl.me @ekuber@hachyderm.io the humans still writing their own artisanal code by hand do super appreciate it though, if that helps at all!

@soph@grrl.me @ekuber@hachyderm.io that sucks... I love rust for many reasons, one of them is the error messages.
But none of them is the abuse of LLMs to generate rust. It makes me sad.

@soph@grrl.me i know a lot of people, and one in particular, who will be very disappointed in this characterisation of their incredible efforts to make that feedback loop better for humans.
Just like the sudden discovery that writing docs is worthwhile, actually, now that the audience is not.
uuuuugh
