alt Hacker NewsI like them. It tells very clearly how much effort went into someone's work.
I like them even more on code comments. It tells _precisely_ how much effort went into the pull request, so I don't spend time reviewing lazy work.

So you just rubber-stamp the lazy work? What else can you do when this PR is assigned to you specifically for reviewing?

I wonder if we humans are already checking out from PR reviews from human effort that we've misjudged as AI. we are in so much trouble! lol

Lazy or efficient? A dev could spend an hour on something or 10 mins, if the outcome is the same what's does it matter?

It does not at all indicate the effort that went into doing the thing. Clearly not.
I propose that what you enjoy is having a token of the appearance of effort, easily constructed and easily observed and easily suitable for low-effort handling of these proxy objects for actual work.
