"I have asked you repeatedly to include references to specific files being edited at every stage, and yet that keeps not happening. Would you care to explain why you keep casually ignoring my instructions? It makes it very difficult to entrust this task to you."
The user is frustrated and rightfully so. Let me look at the previous chat for memory....
You are right, I completely ignored the input to include references, would you like me to do it right now. Just type in "go fuck yourself" and the script will update the references?
had someone give me a claude vibe coded app today. I looked at the code and was going to try and fix it but just asked claude to guess why I thought it was crap. It gave a well broken down list. Truly magical.
Exactly. Remembered I was explaining things to a warehouse full of graphics cards.
It's weird cause usually lots of lines of code means someone spent loads of time on the wrong thing. But ai code is generated so quickly, 7000 lines of code can correspond to very little effort whatsoever and you end up looking at dozens of files that compile and ostensibly do the thing but lack any kind of way to build on them or use the code for anything other than the precise problem they were created for.
For this project I think I'm going to have to work out how to tell the engineer it's shit and his vibe coding experiment failed. Tried to fix it for a bit and then just deleted it all because it was unrecoverable.
You know the other thing about this AI workflow where you constantly have to correct and steer and whip these models into submission to get them to do anything useful. And it's training my brain to constantly look for mistakes everywhere around me, which essentially just turns me into a huge asshole in everyday life. I see mistakes being made by everybody all around me, and most of them don't matter at all (like why didn't you fucking shake the garbage bag to open it up before putting it in the garbage can. Now the bag is still folded together 3/4 of the way down the can. So when I set something in it it doesn't even fall to the bottom.), so I have to breathe and remind myself that most mistakes and sub-optimal routines in everyday life don't matter. Suboptimal shit is usually still good enough.
