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.
