Not sure if I should post it here or under the pivot article, somebody went through the claude code https://neuromatch.social/@jonny/116324676116121930 (via @aliettedebodard.com and @olivia.science on bsky)

[From mid-thread](https://neuromatch.social/@jonny/116328921500788794) >13 butts pooping, back and forth, forever. This is somehow even more of a shitshow than I would have predicted. Also it continues the pattern that these systems don't fuck up the way people do. One thing he hasn't annotated as much is the sheer number of different *aesthetic* variants on doing the same thing that this code contains. Like, you do the same kind of compression four different places, and one is compressImage, one is DoCompression, one is imgModify.compress, and one is COMPRESS_IMG. Even the most dysfunctional team would have spent time developing some kind of standard here from my (admittedly limited) experience.
