alt Hacker NewsIf I had a nickel for every time I've seen a human dev disable/xfail/remove a failing test "because it's wrong" and then proceeding to break production I would have several nickels, which is not much, but does suggest that deleting failing tests, like many behaviors, is not LLM-specific.

If I had a nickel for every time I’ve seen a human being pull down their pants and defecate in the middle of the street I’d have a couple nickels. That’s not a lot but it suggests that this behavior is not LLM specific.
Had humans not been doing this already, I would have walked into Samsung with the demo application that was working an hour before my meeting, rather than the android app that could only show me the opening logo.
There are a lot of really bad human developers out there, too.

True, but it is shocking how often claude suggests just disabling or removing tests.
