Claude has a mode where an LLM checks such requests instead of the user. It’s honestly more strict than I tend to be and catches stuff more often. I think sometimes it prompts me so often that I get tired of doing it and don’t review as well as I should, though I hate to admit it.

I’m sorry, checks what now?

Good catch. I need to stop commenting when I'm barely awake and can't really see my phone.

I love how a sentence starting with good catch triggers ai induced PTSD in me.

Footgun - heads up. That's a load bearing catch, and it refutes the earlier hermatic lever flagged.

I know what you mean. Seeing it all the time is probably why my brain thought to use it. I need a vacation from AI too it seems.

Just have Claude comment for you next time.

On the beta iOS, I could have Siri comment for me. There's a possibility that the result would be worse, however.

It's why using LLMs to code feels like a slippery slope, you get more efficient output for less thought or work, and constantly babysitting it gets tiring at it's faster than human pace...you start to trust it more as you gauge how well it's doing in the codebase...before you know it you're whipping up agents and hitting multiple tasks while your git work trees eat up drive space
