It's amazing the way it lulls you into a false sense of security by doing exactly what you ask of it, right up the point where it does something so amazingly boneheaded (in my last case it removed the JSON parsing library from my includes and tried to implement a basic version from scratch) that you really can't work out why they're selling it at all.
Meanwhile my bosses: "I've let Claude write a invoicing system from scratch without supervision of any kind"
It frequently doesn't do what you want, though. You just didn't check carefully is all... In other words, I think the false senses of purity is often driven from pure laziness as opposed to an initial positive performance.
And that's understandable because we're busy with our lives and we often just can't make the time to do various things. So it's easy to fool ourselves into believing that we can spend 45 seconds asking some computer system to do it all for us, even when we know it's probably not true.
Um... my guess is probably for the money? 😜💰 💲💸🤑
