Every time I ask claude code to please fix this CSV import it starts to add several hundred lines of random modules, byzantine error handling, logging bullshit... with the pinnacle a 1240 line CRUD API when i asked it to add a CLI :/
I'm back to copying and pasting stuff into a chat window, so I have a bit more control over what those deranged, expensive busy beavers want to cook up.

- isoprophlex 2y agoThat's 12.9 tokens per line when given 16k output context, which seems borderline doable, I'll grant you that... but mind you that these agentic code assistents don't need a single pass to accomplish their acts of verbosity. They can just plan, stew for minutes on end, derail themselves, stew some more, do more edits, eat up $5 in API calls and there you are. An entirely new 1000+ line file, believe it or not.
