I caught claude trying to sneak in the equivalent to a CI script yesterday as I was wrangling how to run framework and dotnet tests next to each other without slowing down the framework tests horrendously.

It tried to sneak in changing the CI build script to proceed to next step on failure.

It's a bold approach, I'll give it that.

  1. if it won't compile you'll give up on the tool in minutes or an hour.
  2. if it won't run you'll give up in a few hours or a day.
  3. if it sneaks in something you don't find until you're almost - or already - in production it's too late.
charitable: the model was trained on a lot of weak/lazy code product.

less-charitable: there's a vested interest in the approach you saw.
