Comment on I will burn this fucker to the ground... internally

Watched someone copy an entire file of Python code, paste it into an LLM, ask the thing to ‘remove all whitespace’, copy paste it back, and then be flabbergasted that there’s even more whitespace than before.

I’m thankful it was over a video call and not in person.

    I feel that’s not a very rare occasion at all.

Then ask it to remove parenthesis from your C code.
