Who ever said that? Have you actually heard that from your fellow programmers in real life?
If the code I wrote actually made even the slightest discernible difference in LLMs I'd be so honored. But it won't happen, as it's just 0.00001% of all the training data.
Real life? Most not. Hacker News? Absolutely. Literally the comment I am replying to.
