Yeah. It's… bad, and also software quality has been a long-standing problem with ebs and flows.
Some of the BS in Claude Code reminded me of when I was doing Groovy metaprogramming, and finding the language had 2–3 different subsystems implementing similar capabilities, completely differently. Except worse.

@mdekstrand I do think these arguments are interesting, because they argue pretty explicitly that not only am I a bad software developer, I've also never worked with a good software developer! That seems a little unlikely to me, but I suppose it's possible; maybe I really do need to work at an MFAANG to see what good code looks like?
