absolutely sick of reading through obviously AI-slopped READMEs. it's your project, take a little pride and tell me why i should like it quickly instead of asking your agent to rattle off a list of features -- it's severely boring & offputting.
Thanks for feedback. Here's a pre-AI-slopped README https://github.com/nooga/let-go/blob/98c2e2ebf38519bceb4f799...
You can also refer to the HN post itself - it says why I think it's cool.
This version is infinitely better.
apologies if i was blunt - readme sloppage is a particular annoyance of mine that is quickly becoming common. i'm not against vibecoding, far from it. but a readme is a part of a project that humans immediately touch - seeing it littered with em-dashes signals carelessness.
i appreciate you taking my feedback with grace.
I would like to point out, again, that em dashes are very much used by humans that run macOS or iOS — like in this case.

No worries at all. I understand your point. I'll look into fixing this!
Why did you feel the need to slopify your README? The original version read much, much better.
I genuinely don’t understand why people do this.
Good question, perhaps I really was just careless. I'll look into fixing the README.
