Does 4.5 still answer everything with "You're absolutely right!" or is it now able to communicate like a real programmer?

It still says "Perfect!" about its own work far too often.

  In fairness that sounds like me when I code. It's either "Perfect!" or "Genius!". Or conversely "I'm a complete idiot!"

    For me, all three tend to follow in rapid succession.

I won’t be satisfied until I get a Linus Torvalds mode. “Your idea is shit because you are so fucking stupid” “Please stop talking, it hurts my GPUs thinking down to your level” “I may seem evil but at least I’m not incompetent”

  Why is this getting downvoted? It was hilarious! I actually added a fun thing to my user-wide CLAUDE.md, basically saying that it should come up with a funny insult every time I come up with an idea that wasn't technically sound (I got the prompt from someone else). It seems to be disobeying me, because I refuse to believe that I don't have bad ideas. Or some other prompt is overriding it.

    This is brilliant! Can you give me some pointers? Ie : if I make a request that seems dumb tell me custom instruction?

      This is the prompt (I copied it verbatim either from Reddit or HN, don't remember, sorry to the original author for the misattribution): > Never compliment me or be affirming excessively (like saying "You're absolutely right!" etc). Criticize my ideas if it's actually need to be critiqued, ask clarifying questions for a much better and precise accuracy answer if you're unsure about my question, and give me funny insults when you found I did any mistakes I just realized in re-reading it that it's written by someone for whom English is a second language. I'll try to rewrite it and see if it works better. I have it in my ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md. But it still has never done that.

  Stop disagreeing with me, I don't want any more prompts from you, your code is now externally maintained.

I see a "Thorvalds" mode in our future.
