> Take it up with Anthropic. It's actually their billion-dollar TUI product you're commenting on.
That's like blaming the company making hammers because you're unable to build a lasting house with the hammer, it really isn't up to Anthropic, but all about how you use the tool you're holding.
Do they also hold their hammer wrong when their TUI flickers for months?
That's just poor engineering, product building and testing, same can happen with/without LLMs, no doubt.
If the company making hammers can't hold it right, it suggests something about the hammers, no?

This analogy was trotted out every time someone complained about PHP. It wasn't true then, and it isn't true now.
I don't see how it cannot be true. Are you claiming that every developer who uses the same LLM harness + model would produce equal code, regardless of the prompt? That's clearly not true in my experience, and I cannot understand how it could be either.
And if that's not true, then it's quite literally about how you're holding this hammer.
There's a cowboy artist that paints with his penis and does amazing work. If I tried that it'd turn out incredibly poorly, I prefer to paint with paintbrushes.
Just because the naked cowboy can paint well with just his penis, doesn't mean a penis is the right tool for painting. It doesn't matter how you hold your penis, it's not the right tool.
