I’ve heard as a possible explanation before that LLMs are mainly trained on long-form written texts, whereas more colloquial speech (spoken or in text chat form) typically uses simpler speech. So, where normal humans would put “Sure!” or “Yeah!”, the LLM will likely write “Certainly!”, because that’s more likely what’s written in a blog post.
Yep, the repository root. Where everyone starts to read your code, so you put your README there and the docs-folder and the entrypoint to your source tree, oh and also all this random guff that no sane reader would ever be interested in.
I still remember how I tried to read larger repositories for the first time and this was genuinely a hurdle, because I figured these files must be highly relevant for understanding the code.
My attempt at combating that has been to move as much of the code structure to the top as possible, so that someone new will have a much higher chance of clicking on something relevant. But yeah, downside is that your code structure isn’t as separated from the guff anymore…
