How are we supposed to take this stuff seriously if the author (sic) isn't even willing to write the readme? Claude exists! If I want some slop I can push the button myself.

Tell me, are there any substantive comments on the text, on what has been done, and on the technical implementation, and not on the form?

Why would I ask you about this work? The root of my question is why is this type of output shared on github, rather than the inputs?

Isn't this a README? https://github.com/pg83/solo/blob/main/README.md

Parents point is the readme was written by Claude. Signals low effort.

README.md was written by me, and I, of course, used claude/codex for it. In general, I do everything through claude/codex, the reasons are described in https://github.com/pg83/solo/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md . And no, it's not low effort, and no, I don't see the point in wasting time de-claude-ifying the text just to avoid it looking like I didn't spend enough time on it.

I believe usually when someone complains about text written by a language model they are hoping to read human-written text instead of human-laundered LLM output.

You make it clear why you write all your code through a llm. But a README is not code. Presumably you would like people to read it. A machine authored readme reflects poorly on a project.

In any case, it's open source. If you don't like something, even if the project seems generally useful, go ahead and fix it. The PR came in. I'm an engineer and I can write good code, but that doesn't mean I can write good README.mds!

The author of the README is me, the machine just wrote it. I am not a native speaker of English, my written English is simply terrible, no one wants to read the text that I wrote exactly :))

		I think we're trying to tell you that we actually would prefer it.

Implicit assumption of gp is that the README is llm authored. (Which, I agree is how it reads to me.)
