If anything, it's a good sign that these tools are no where close to replacing us.

I was trying to get postgres working with a project the other day, and Claude decided that it was going to just replace it with SQL lite when it couldn't get the build to work.

All I want is "I don't know how to do this." But now these tools would rather just do it wrong.

They also have a very very strong tendency to try and force unoptimized solutions. You'll have 3 classes that do the exact same thing with only minor variable differences. Something a human would do in one class.

For my latest project I'm strongly tempted to just suck it up and code the whole thing by hand.
