It’s that time of year. CA glue bottle for scale.

A lot of devs are obviously struggling with complex communication problems currently, so as someone with a modest linguistics background, I offer this helpful template:

"We do not allow LLM generated code in our project's codebase."

I give away all IP rights to the above sentence. It is free to use and reproduce.

(last year someone raged about it being embarrassing twee Britishness nonsense and yes, that’s kind of the point, I wanted to establish a ‘day’ and deliberately picked something extremely trivial & uncool. I would probably find it mildly annoying if I hadn’t invented it!)
