What's funnier, quality too low or too high?

Too many comments (fills the context window)

Yeah stupid comments that explain things. Fuck useful naming conventions too. Why don’t we all just code in binary machine language? Why have the AIs write in a higher level language and then compile or interpret it? Just have them code in 1s and 0s directly. Then they could exploit certain low level operations making it even more difficult to figure out what they are doing?

Too long didn't train the AI on it

Just recently intervened before we introduced a new XML attribute named "max".

There's also one called "quantity", and no, it doesn't describe an inventory.

Too fake, just like the post.
