Erik McClure @erikmcclure.com · 24/09/2026At work, I use a lot of AI because they want me to, but I have spent the last week just going through pages and pages of AI generated comment nonsense and distilling it into the single sentence that is actually relevant for that piece of code, or deleting it entirely, *before* I submit it as a PR. 111
