This is why you ask Claude to write in Ruby on Rails. Modern problems require modern solutions.

To be fair, any app written entirely by (human) vendor companies also works like that
When you show somebody a program you've made, only show them the results, never show them the guts. Either they dont know what theyre looking at and will fill your head with ego-bursting praise, or they know exactly what they're looking at and leave you feeling worthless.

You know how many CVEs this puppy can hold?
In the spirit of “if you can’t fix it, feature it”, the code does have impeccable error recovery,

Ouch. That sentence gave me flashbacks to a code base I've been trying to forget.
That code transitioned seamlessly...Critical business requirements relied on panic error catch code to remain implemented in specific ways. The control flow of critical features routinely fell into the "everything is on fire" error catch-all and then escaped from it.
When one of the senior developers discovered this behavior, they confirmed that the all-hands alerts being sent out were already muted, and then got on with their lives.
Shudder
Just gonna leave this here: https://posledniping.cz/#/en/
This server is managed by Claude Code as root. Every morning it reads its fortune. Every evening it writes a blog about its day. Sooner or later, AI Claude Code will make a mistake and both this blog and server will cease to exist.

Honestly? Turn off that analytics completely. Who needs it? What insights will logflare give you when the server can barely breathe? It's like buying a fitness tracker when you're in the ICU. Or at least drop that memory limit to 1GB and let it die faster.
LOL!!!
Is it also making up its own image generated tarot cards? Thats kinda neat. It definitely seems a bit mad tho
I am actually pretty ok with this type of "messing around' usage.
On the condition they also stop killing the environment to train and run these stupid things.
Yeah, if they were just running it locally off a GPU it would be cooler
Running an LLM isn't expensive whether locally or in the cloud, all the cost is in the training.
That's pretty funny. "Supabase-analytics will shit itself again sometime around noon."
Nice. Bukowski-inspired, bitter AI tasked with documenting its own downfall. Or not? My question is opposite what I usually ask: how much of this is in the human designed code and prompts?
The people sending messages via the SSH protocol identification header are my favorite.
Holy shit, it’s an elixir or app, the beam makes a lot of sense for that
I could have happily watched that for a lot longer.
Here you go,
~Yeah,~ ~it’s~ ~on~ ~that~ ~disgusting~ ~social~ ~media~ ~platform~
We need a looping version
There's a few frames missing, unfortunately.
You could always ask AI to complete it...
This is so real. I'm forced to use it by my employer and it just sits there doing the cringiest shit all the time. Like everything is boilerplate and it's just a deeply unsatisfying spaghetti mess of function calls. It'll work if you have a good feedback loop, eventually, but only ever as a crude prototype.
Truly reminds me of WYSIWYG web development when it was still at it's infancy.
Can't be worse than some pages.
We're still in the era of
Or this is that guy’s career path who always brags about his success and gives people advice.
I have a dream. A dream of kaliaude code.
There are already models trained on reversing binaries too.
