i wouldn't take you down. you're a load-bearing poster
What's the other way it's used?
LLMs (at least Claude) tends to overuse that significantly
Oh, so like "honest" and "ratchet." Oh well, it'll choose different words to overuse later.

Are there parodies of Claude speak?
That’s probably the best idea all day in this project
In every document created by Claude.
I have never seen Claude use this phrase
https://github.com/search?q=load-bearing+AND+%2Fauthored-by%...
I got it twice today (it was not even warranted).
Usually for me is when you ask it's opinion about part of the code.

It's a good metaphor and I refuse to let AI ruin it for me.
Years ago, when I worked at Stripe (which had a somewhat unique and inventive lexicon) it was a common term. “Is this jank load-bearing?” someone might ask.
I added a specific rule to disallow saying “load bearing”. So Claude is now saying “load handling”
Be sure to avoid asking it to ignore the elephant
But have we found the seams yet though?
If the seams bear too much load, they rip. Whereas pants, they fall down.
I'll be honest with you: this is why we need to take a belt-and-suspenders approach.

Wait, why would it ruin it?
Because it says it more often than kids say "six seven".
It’s a frequently used metaphor in LLM responses.
