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.

I recently learned to use Option + Shift + `-` (dash) on macOS to type it and use it since then because somebody smarter than me told me that this is the correct one to use (please correct them if you know better :D).

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’m guessing this list is defined by Mac users who all got taught em dash somewhere similar or for similar reasons. It is only easy to use on a Mac. But I wonder what is the 2nd common influence of users using it?

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.

I wonder where the balance of “Actual time saved for me” vs “Everyone else's time wasted” lies in this technological “revolution”.

Agreed.

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.

Thank you! I'm glad you found the observation insightful. It's important to delve deep into the core of an issue to truly understand its implications and potential solutions. If you'd like to explore this further or discuss any other aspects, feel free to share your thoughts!

This 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.

Imagine the headline if a slop security report ends up real but the maintainer ignored it.

It’s a lose-lose situation for the maintainers
