People keep assuring me that LLMs writing code is a revolution, that as long as we maintain sound engineering practices and tight code review they're actually extruding code fit for purpose in a fraction of the time it would take a human.

And every damned time, every damned time any of that code surfaces, like Anthropic's flagship offering just did, somehow it's exactly the pile of steaming technical debt and fifteen year old Stack Overflow snippets we were assured your careful oversight made sure it isn't.

Can someone please explain this to me? Is everyone but you simply prompting it wrong?

It's a good thing programmers aren't susceptible to hubris in any way, or this would have been so much worse.

I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as a gryphon, is in fact, bird/cat, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, bird plus cat. Gryphon is not a species unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning bird system made useful by the bird corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full creature as defined by The Ones Who Came Before Us.

so anthropic's coding thing leaked, and they are using DMCA to get it taken down.

but if it is all vibecoded and everything generated by LLM is not copyrightable...
