I tried the latest Claude for a very complex wrapper around the AWS Price APIs who are not easy to work with. Down a 2,000 line of code file, I found Claude faking some API returns by creating hard coded values. A pattern I have seen professional developers being caught on while under pressure to deliver.
This will be a boon to the human skilled developers, that will be hired at $900 dollars an hour to fix bugs of a subtlety never seen before.
More or less this. Maybe a job opportunity, but many decision makers won't see the real problem until they get hit by that AWS bill. Ironic, if the business won't hire you because they went out of business?
I mean, that bug doesnt seem very subtle.
I swear this is not me..

I did not want to bend the truthfulness of my story, to make a valid logical argument more convincing... :-)
