So, Claude Code is the state of the art in "agentic" "AI"-driven software development tools, and most if not all of its codebase was written by Claude Code. So that is what the state of the art is like. It's a sorry state.
It's clear from the code that the energy expenditure to do even the simplest tasks is simply obscene. This thing is an abomination.
@wim_v12e I'm fascinated to understand a bit more of this. If you don't have time to write it up please do boost anyone else who does a meaningful dive!

@danstowell This thread illustrates the enormous wastefulness in so many aspects of the codebase:

@wim_v12e @jonny If there's anything likely to change my gradually-thawing attitude to LLM coding, it's this. Wow. The leading system is itself an irretrievable pile of spitball approximations to good code...?
