> Can we all agree that "mentoring" LLMs is actually a waste of time, please?
Sorry, we can't. While it's true that you can't really modify the underlying model, updating your AGENTS.md (or whatever) with your expected coding style, best practices, common gotchas etc is a type of mentoring.

We'll have to agree to disagree, because I don't think that has anything remotely in common with mentoring

Fair enough. But don't you think giving a junior a handbook you wrote is mentoring? They may not be able to memorise it, but they now have a handbook that they can look up things.
Maybe we need an Ask HN to share AGENTS.md files.
