Dev proposes a color standard for LLM output: orange for direct answers, red for issues
DavidWells · x · 2026-09-25
Developer DavidWells complains that LLM responses are unreadable "walls of text" all in one color, and proposes a standard colorization scheme: the direct answer to the prompt in orange, detected issues in red, and other added noise in white. His core point: users shouldn't have to hunt through layers of "usually useful" extra output to verify the one thing they actually asked for was done. He calls on Claude to implement it.
