@kawa Yeah, i don't give a shit about that; i don't plan to use the output as an endpoint. But getting consistently clean HTML out of docx would save me a ton of irritation.
@kawa i would though! i can work with weird garbage!
@kawa @bayindirh @root42 @foone OMG, can i have it? Is it open source? I would get a lot of use out of that shit.

One of my favorite tricks! It's a container format; you can just shove whatever in there!

EDITED: Thank you, someone got me covered. <3

EDITED: got it covered, thanks, folks

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.

@emd We are in Langley. We need to be roundtripped from here to Vancouver and back, because the car was unfortunately in Vancouver at the time so it's at a tow lot there.
