Okay, so the submitted title is a lie? "I wrote the manual..." Would you consider changing it to something more honest?

It's not me who decides. I just pointed out that the irrelevant date is related to the AI generated nature of this text.

Ah. My bad, yelling at the messenger. But the actual "author", who might also be the submitter (nick = Nicola?), has some explaining to do. There's a lie in the submission title, and the same lie in the github readme intro.
Thanks for helping alert us all to the sloppiness and deceit. And thanks to all who flagged.

i genuinely wrote the thing myself. i wrote it in notion and had lots of spelling/grammar mistakes and no formatting, so i asked claude code to put it into a markdown file and polish the writing. im not going to sit here and do this myself bc this is not my full time job and im just trying to get my ideas out into the world

The person you are responded to isn't the author of the post.

Fair point, but neither is this lying "Nicola Sahar" character.

Come on and what? We are dazzled by this cool new tech and so now precision in speech no longer matters?

Human language is the new code; precision in speech is outdated and irrelevant

You almost had me there, I'll admit, but then I looked at your (short, new) comment history for a Poe's Law check. A much-needed perspective around here! Keep it up, and good luck staying on the right side of the site guidelines -- your shtick is close to the edge, but very refreshing if done well.
