What’s it like to be this abrasive about people simply doing things?

It would be nice if people were indeed doing things.

However, asking Claude to write a skill encoding ASD-STE100 after seeing it pop-up in your social feed is not doing much at all. It's certainly not worth a post on HN.

Having said that, this skill might have been the seed for the flurry of low-effort posts on the subject on various platforms this week. If that's the case, I take back the majority of my scorn.

You'll have to excuse me for becoming jaded by the diminishing levels of visible effort put into projects and products shared on here.

Maybe your complaining wasn’t worth a comment on Hackernews?
Not everyone spends their time browsing hackernews or other forums all day.

This is the first time I’m hearing about this, I think it’s nifty, and it’s precisely why I come to hackernews at least once a day.

Also what is wrong with using Claude to make a more polished post about something that’s being talked about already?

This is actually completely useless slop and any illusion of usefulness is misguided
Based on what? I wouldn’t have learned about ASD-STE100 if I hadn’t stumbled upon this post. I’m not even going to use the linked GitHub project, just mentioning ASD-STE100 spec in certain prompts makes them useful.
Since your claim that adhering to a proven style guide is useless slop is not itself useless slop, I am looking forward to your empirical evidence or formal proof that there is no benefit to using it.
