    Emdash is useful punctuation — I use it all the fucking time.

    On the other hand, "it's not foo; it's bar," once a quirky rhetorical flourish, now scans lazy and sloppy as shit.

    Also, swearing like a motherfucking sailor helps establish one's humanity. So fuck off. No offense. Have a lovely day!

    "Don't tell me what isn't so," has to be something I say on an hourly basis when I use AI. If you ever correct anything, it just writes itself little notes like doing something dumb would be the obvious behavior otherwise.

    "This service does not use JPA, it uses JDBC, so don't add Hibernate to the dependencies."

    Motherfucker, what? Four words: "this service uses JDBC." I swear it's a gimmick to make AI use more tokens.
