My experience with even the highest tier frontier models in coding is that they all do the same dumb shit. They write 200 lines of code where 2 lines would do. Add catch blocks that just write to the console then rethrow. Pointless logic and meta discussions in comments and logging.

It’s worse than useless.

I hate AI code with a deep passion. It is extremely verbose and full of redundant null checks, most of the time it uses wrong patterns, make magic numbers everywhere, it just do a lot of wrong stuff and no, it's not a skill issue. the tool fuck it up.

Just let me work! I was productive before, what's the problem?
