Thanks for clarifying, this does make it sound like you want to be more careful than the comment above seemed to imply.
> You’re jumping to conclusions not supported by the comment at all.
That might be true, but you’re making assumptions that your first comment is clear and being interpreted the way you intended. I think it’s fair to point out that your words may imply things you weren’t considering, that asking people to re-read the same words again might not solve the problem you had.
The bigger picture here is that you’re talking about using AI to write code that for whatever reason you couldn’t write yourself in the same amount of time. The very topic here also implicitly suggests you’re starting with code you might not fully understand, which is fine, there’s no reason to get upset because someone else disagreed or read your comment that way.
You’re repeating your assumption that anyone but you knows exactly what is supported by the comment you wrote that does in fact imply in multiple ways that there’s code involved that you don’t fully understand. Why is it fair to expect people to know exactly what you meant, when words often have fuzzy meanings, and in the face of evidence that multiple people interpreted your comment potentially differently than intended?
I did not repeat any assumption at all. I pointed out that if I were to accept your interpretation, then that is justification for asking for clarification, not making bombastic statements about it.
I agree that asking for clarification is a good idea! That’s always true. :) To clarify my point, since I might not be verbalizing exactly what I intended, it’s partly that making reasonable assumptions about your intent is par for the course and should be expected when you comment, and partly that the comment in question is not particularly “bombastic”, even if it made assumptions about what you meant. That seems like an exaggeration, which might undermine your point a little, and it assumes your audience is responsible for knowing your exact intent when using words and topics that are easily misunderstood.
