# code
- you can and SHOULD use AI when writing code
- please avoid some of the things that AI likes to do in code:
- write long, unnecessary comments on self explanatory code
- use non-ascii characters in comments
- generate redundant (even though it may be correct) code
- write repetitive code that could be easily refactored
- reimplement functionality that can be taken from a library
- in short, PRs that are AI generated without human guidance tend to be unnecessarily long
- these PRs will NOT be reviewed (to save on the reviewer time)
- more of an advice than a policy... ask the AI questions
- you should review each lines it writes
- if something is not clear to you, ask it what it does and why it is needed
- in some cases it will explain - and you have learned something new
- in some cases it will say something like:
"You are absolutely right!
this line is needed only if your code runs in outer space in proximity to a black hole -
you can safely remove it"...
# communication
- would advise against using AI when writing the proposal - they should be concise and accurate
- proposals are NOT judged for style or language
- please avoid using AI to write emails (or any other communication)
- instead of writing a prompt saying what the email should say - just send that information
- same amount of work for you, much less to read for the recipient
