This is fun and hits too close to home, I can appreciate that Claude won't ever screw up this badly for something this simple but it's a simplification that captures the essence of the rage loop perfectly.
It's making me realise something new about why I find Claude so exhausting. Of course you're getting terrible results with these prompts but I found myself getting just as enraged contemplating what my reply would be. Estimating every single way this little asshole will hyper-focus on a pointless bit of semantics, ignore explicit directions, go do something unrelated and spin its wheels until you’re out of credits or wasted a ton of time.
The defensive writing is honestly just as exhausting as reading Claude’s output. Every session is a game of Russian roulette with a chance you'll end up in one of these loops. At that stage all the joy you had of having it pump along with your intentionally crafted prompts and agent configuration is undone in an afternoon.
