alt Hacker Newslmao this is exactly the kind of stuff I always see from Claude. It’s like adding a Skip() to a test and declaring it works now. “Well it’s a lot faster, I met the criteria of my TODOs cya”
I’ve seen it so much I kinda doubt it was “inadvertent” because they’re like seemingly intentional about their laziness, and will gaslight you about it too.

Same thing for TypeScript type errors… “AI added as any and the problem is fixed”!

“I am a vibe coder, it is your job to check the results”
So annoying. Also, when it hardcodes the expected response in a mock, bypassing the purpose entirely. “Test passes now!”
Funny, 5 years ago we had these same complaints, but about (some) people.
