What was it with em dash?
People usually don't type embdash, just use regular dash (minus sign) they have already on the keyboard. ChatGPT uses emdash instead.

Ahem. https://www.gally.net/miscellaneous/hn-em-dash-user-leaderbo... As #9 on the leaderboard I feel like I need to defend myself.

I think you might be onto something-- perhaps something from the first sentence of the post to which you are replying.
You’re absolutely right, that’s a sharp observation that really gets to the heart of the issue.

#148I wonder where the balance of “Actual time saved for me” vs “Everyone else's time wasted” lies in this technological “revolution”.
I've found some AI assistance to be tremendously helpful (Claude Code, Gemini Deep Research) but there needs to be a human in the loop. Even in a professional setting where you can hold people accountable, this pops up.
If you're using AI, you need to be that human, because as soon as you create a PR / hackerone report, it should stop being the AI's PR/report, it should be yours. That means the responsibility for parsing and validating it is on you.
I've seen some people (particularly juniors) just act as a conduit between the AI and whoever is next in the chain. It's up to more senior people like me to push back hard on that kind of behaviour. AI-assisted whatever is fine, but your role is to take ownership of the code/PR/report before you send it to me.

#150This must be _absolutely exhausting_.
Yeah, I guess if I was him, I would just close issues silently and ban the person who created them, if possible. I don't think I could be as nice as he is.
It’s a lose-lose situation for the maintainers
