All the devs saying that Anthropic’s code quality is “normal” are telling on themselves and everybody they’ve worked with

(Also supports what many have been saying about software quality being a crisis that precedes LLMs, but that’s another story)

@baldur I ended up in a couple of places like that and never lasted long, because I was told, to my face and quite seriously, that a) my standards were too high and b) that I care too much about my values. They meant it as a negative, which I will never, ever understand. (all of them advertised themselves as "values-based" organizations. fuck startups. 😂)

@peter_sc @baldur

A: welcome to our values-based organization!
B: nice!
B: <actualizes values>
A: wait no not like that

@rysiek @peter_sc @baldur "We value your privacy"
@JennyFluff @rysiek @peter_sc @baldur I'm so blessed that I have a client who talks to me about what they need and then trusts me to do my fucking job.
