Are you serious? You don’t think I’m capable of running the codebase through an LLM? Or is this supposed to be some kind of gotchya? Rude and lame.

I'm not the OP.

Not everyone is paying for LLMs, even now. So I think it is perfectly reasonable to assume good intentions, here.

Someone spent their own tokens to ponder your code and thought they'd share the result. For anyone else looking, like me, I can see that this is probably going to come up relatively clean without having to spend my own tokens, or install it, and I'm more likely to, now that I can see that.

Oh I'm ever so sorry -- because of course "I don’t want a codebase that looks like something out of a H.P. Lovecraft novel when I have to fix something in the future." is not at all rude and lame and you write perfect non-Lovecraftian code all day every day …

Ignore them. These people are insane, don't ruin your day reading their messages.
