In last month or two I noticed semicolons getting used where previously it would be em-dash, in both cases excessively and often incorrectly.
I assumed some of my coworkers added "replace all em-dashes with semicolons" into their CLAUDE.md as a really crappy attempt at hiding their inability to write a single sentence without assistance.
Is that a new feature? I have over a thousand contributions on StreetComplete (casually using it during walks) and somehow I never noticed that button.
Realizing he's just using it to mean remote place in terms of AI bubble (Vancouver! What does that make all the other places that are not major tech hubs?) was a bummer.
Who cares about AI, I wanted to read about living in Galapagos
I see this all the time in code reviews at work. Extremely verbose comments that teach the clueless author how things work but have no place in the final code: aside from codebase not being a coding tutorial, they are also incredibly specific and would become stale and incorrect in matter of weeks.
Our github->slack subscription breaks every few months, they never acknowledged it before. At this point we have a doc with the list of repos and settings, whenever someone notices that things are awfully quiet we just go through it and resubscribe.
They have forums where people post neat cloud photos and if you sign up for membership they will send you an identification chart plus a journal for keeping track of the types you have seen.
Makes for a nice gift for that person you know who always goes "oh look at that cloud!" :)
Over the last few months they have served me multiple slop tracks in the discover weekly playlist. Probably more I didn't notice when just listening without focus, but several had generic artist name without bio and dozens of nearly identical tracks.
