Perfectly summarizes what I hate about AI code. The diff looks fine but if you take a step back its an absolute mess. I mean have you looked at the Claude Code or Openclaw codebases? that is the result of full on vibecoded. A bloated unattainable mess that no one understands.

Sometimes it's a

    // TODO: implement logic

"this feature would require extensive logic and changes to the existing codebase".

Sometimes they just declare their work done. Ignoring failing tests and builds.

You can nudge them to keep going but I often feel like, when they behave like this, they are at their limit of what they can achieve.

Thanks I didn't know!

"You are Claude Code, Anthropic's official CLI for Claude."

I like it but I am not too deep into the whole agentic coding business.

I was about to have a word with him after the lecture but when he started talking about how crypto is going to replace fiat any second now I knew he was a lost cause.

I asked around with my fellow students what they thought about them and not one minded that they were essentially enrolled in a "how to proompt" class. When I asked one student that it was all nice and well that you pass the module but isn't the ideal outcome that you actually know the language by the end? He laughed and said "Yeah sure, do you think the same about maths"?

   const event = new Event("mousedown")

   const pArr = Array.from(document.querySelectorAll("p"))

   function switchSymbol(target) {
     target.dispatchEvent(event);
   }

   function switchUntil(target, until) {
     while (target.innerText !== until) {
       switchSymbol(target);
     }
   }

   for (const p of pArr) {
     switchUntil(p, "")
   }

Does he not perhaps also live underground when

The day's harmony will be mute to him,

If he can awaken it with gentle care

In the minds of his [own]

[...]

Only he who leaves no legacy of affections

Has little joy of the urn; and if he looks

After the funeral, he sees his spirit

Wander amidst Acheron's lamented temples,

Or seeks shelter under the vast wings

Of God's forgiveness: but his dust

Leaves to the nettles of deserted soil

Where neither the enamored woman prays,

Nor the solitary passer-by hears the sigh

That Nature sends to us from the tomb.
