Claude Code is not a LLM. It’s a regular application communicating with an LLM. It might be very vibe coded, seeing who it is written by, but it’s not an LLM that’s the problem here.
The bad application design here is allowing an unreliable LLM write access to your repo and to the internet.
And absolutely the LLM is the problem.
You know the LLM gets stuff wrong, yet you put it in charge. Sooner or later, it’s inevitably going to go very, very wrong.
People were wrong to trust it, people read all the stories of it going wrong, and I don’t understand why anybody still does trust LLMs.
It always was a decision to outsource your most valuable thinking to a subscription controlled by companies who were so obviously on the initial stages of an enshittification journey. Why else were they pushing it so very hard?!
“Yeah, sure, some of its towers fall down, but look how fast it builds them, and look at how heavily below cost the initial subscription is! Let’s replace all our institutional knowledge and experience with a random sentence generator that ate stackoverflow! Yay!”
I don’t understand why people vote for narcissistic, fraudulent, criminal, child-raping bullies, either. It was so clearly and obviously going to go wrong.
I genuinely don’t understand how is everyone having such a bad experience. Granted, I hardly chat or use it for research, but every task I’ve given to codex has been successfully fulfilled. Two last ones were optimizing a web page that drew entire world map with lots of details (actually blew my mind, it was like 95% faster) and fixing a mod in a videogame. I’ve created custom app for a radio station I loved but didn’t have basic features like previous songs, I’ve created an entire web game in 3 hours, I’ve created mods for games, etc., all without a fail.
This thing has saved me lots of headache, yes everyone here claims it’s so bad and useless and a complete bubble, meanwhile in the last year it has basically only started working and only now can businesses start adapting it (I’m sure early adaptors were not happy)
EDIT: you just know this comment will receive silent grunts and hardly any real counter-arguments because I’m right.
Absolutely it’s got a lot better, and it can do a lot of things, but it can also oopsie wipe your entire repo (and be very apologetic afterwards). I can’t understand how you’ve not heard those stories and I can’t understand how you would give one executive power if you had.
