Comment Typos: Embarrassing Before AI, Load-Bearing After AI
Description
A classic Swole Doge vs. Cheems meme. Top caption reads 'HAVING A TYPO IN YOU COMMENTS' (itself containing the typo 'YOU' instead of 'YOUR'). On the left, a small sad Cheems shiba inu sits labeled 'BEFORE AI'; on the right, a massive muscular Swole Doge stands labeled 'AFTER AI'. The joke is that before AI coding assistants, a typo in a code comment was a harmless embarrassment, but now that LLMs consume comments as context for code generation, a typo can mislead the model - making comment hygiene unexpectedly consequential. The caption's own typo is a self-demonstrating bonus

Comments used to lie only to humans; now a typo'd one gets faithfully implemented by the AI
A typo is now the cheapest CAPTCHA that still passes as personality.
