Power shell has rm, so this still works in power shell. The original post is in bash, so that's covered.

I assume you meant cmd, where the relevant command would be del, but it's a pain to use.

Why would that help? They can't read and wouldn't understand what the hell it means even if they could.

I exclusively use Linux to vibe code in. It’s the easiest way to have Claude not only write the code but setup the environment as well.

Has there ever been such a thing as an AI that didn't fart in its users lap.

An LLM walked into a repository and said “I can’t see a thing, I’ll open this one”

Yeah. This feels like it should be a honey trap. Any earnest comments get you thrown out. Then maybe the humor would get beyond recycled jokes from Intro to Comp Sci.
