Listen, I won't pretend to be The God Emperor Of Writing Code or anything of the sort, I'm realistically quite mediocre/dead average in the grand scheme of things.
But literally yesterday, with Claude Code running 4 opus (aka: The latest and greatest, to intercept the "dId YoU tRy X" comment) which has full access to my entire Vue codebase at work, that has dedicated rules files I pass to it, that can see the fucking `.vue` file extension on every file in the codebase, after prompting it to "generate this vue component that does X, Y and Z" spat out React code at me.
You don't have to be Bjarne Stroustrup to get annoyed at this kinda stuff, and it happens constantly for a billion tiny things on the daily. The biggest pushers of AI have finally started admitting that it's not literally perfect, but am I really supposed to pretend that this workflow of having AIs generate dozens of PRs where a single one is somewhat acceptable is somehow efficient or good?
It's great for random one-offs, sure, but is that really deserving of this much insane, blind hype?
