I don't get who this is making fun of:
- The people who won't make any effort to learn the tools, and something as simple as reverting code (via git) needs to be done by AI?
- The awful programmers who we've had to endure working with, who are so bad at simple changes that they have negative productivity?
- Or Claude itself?

BTW: I don't have these problems, but I'm also not afraid to do things myself when it's easier.
Edit: If I want to change a button's color, I just change it manually. If I don't know where the code for the button is, I might start with prompting, (because AI can often find the code faster than I can,) and then once the diff is proposed, start adjusting things by hand.
- kmoser 24d agoIt's reductio ad absurdum, satirizing the Claude experience.
- gwbas1c 24d agoThen, IMO, the joke is lost: This feels like working with various forms of difficult, immature, indecisive, engineers; and possibly with very disorganized codebases where small changes require major refactoring.
- mrheosuper 23d ago>very disorganized codebases where small changes require major refactoring. In the vibecode era, this is more common than you thought.
- gwbas1c 23d agoI don't think it's more or less common, pretty much any code base I inherited prior to AI had serious problems.
- kmoser 23d agoAre you saying you've never had an experience even somewhat like this while working with Claude, or any LLM for that matter?
- gwbas1c 23d agoNo, because as soon as it starts to go this way I just do it by hand or revert. Specifically, I would never tell AI to revert. I just revert it in git and start a new thread.
