Act sarcastic all you want, that's a killer line. You do care.

The headline on that section, "Static sites are for people who can still read", caught me off guard.
Because it's also bullshit. "People who read" prefer static sites and not prefer any kind of interactivity is just fetishizing intelligence. Readers don't give a fuck if your site is coded in react or static, most of them dont even know web technology statistically. Projection at its peak
Yea definitely, anyone with different preferences from you is just virtue signaling and/or trying to flex on you. Seems super reasonable to me
Anyone who thinks their preferences translate to their viewers is not being honest with themselves. Developers care if your site is static or not, general visitors and web users do not. There is a reason why static sites are not the norm. You're trying to shoehorn your opinion and generalize it when in reality that's not the true. Thanks for mockery!
So we've gone from "anyone who expresses this preference is a snob" to "actually what matters is the preferences of some imaginary audience, who I can also speak for"

Fascinating

What's fascinating is your lack of interest in discussing the subject. Have a good day.
yall, the line is referencing codegen & docsgen & slopgen; people are putting shit into the ether that neither them nor anyone else is going to read but will just be imbibed by some other agent for some random purpose no one strictly knows.
Aye, and the comment above mine was engaging with the line in a way that begged for mockery nonetheless
There are a few bangers in there
Out of curiosity, which AI persona should I attribute this writing to? Is this Claude?
Ya, it’s Claude
> get hired at a comp number that requires a comma you've never used before

Gotta hand it to Claude, that's almost a pretty decent line.

I’m pouring out a shot of Tres Comas for Claude right now
It feels good now to have watched the whole SV series. just knowing the inside jokes or the short clips on HN was worth it.
I've seen Claude come up with some pretty incredible bangers.

I mean, it's still obviously LLM-generated. But Claude's got a sense of humor if you prompt him right.

It’s so strange that the Claude-ness leaks out even when it’s prompted to use this tone. The underlying flavour shines through clearly. I’m sure you could get it to shake it with enough prompting
Did anybody consider that this was sarcastically hand-crafted with some obvious LLM-isms mixed in for the lulz? It goes both ways...
> but they get attention, and attention is the only metric left. Nobody's reading and you know it.

Its not every day I get called a nobody from a clanker, its true, but I still dont like to be called a nobody.

> The weights already ate it. Your CC0 footer is a fucking eulogy.

Made me wonder if there would ever be a copyleft reckoning to this whole thing. Probably not.
