Comment on Show HN: Header-only GIF decoder in pure C – no malloc, easy to useparent

Comments

It is a formally written README which is very usual in formal circle of communication, think proposal writing or papers etc. Outside, it is usual for people to do this when their primary exposure to English is through such channels or when they are not comfortable with having their personal style of talking be viewed by the public.

LLM is also similar in that sense, so it produces the same writing. It resists personal touch without being explicitly asked.

Whenever I tell an LLM to generate README.md for a project, it comes up with READMEs like this one, full of emojis (easy to generate README.md without them though).
