Claude Code leaked, you know what that means. Time to break down the worst typescript I've ever seen.

First off this isn't code, its advanced begging. The most common design pattern I can find is just
recurseUntilSuccess which is more of a prayer than an efficient architecture.

Shit like this is hard fucking coded into the prompts. Not that the LLM will obey, they just hope it will:

"You are not a lawyer and never comment on the legality of your own prompts and responses."

"In the Sources section, list all relevant URLs from the search results as markdown hyperlinks: [Title](URL). This is MANDATORY - never skip including sources in your response"

"IMPORTANT - The current month is ${currentMonthYear}. You MUST use this year when searching"

"ONLY mark a task as completed when you have FULLY accomplished it"

These people use caps like children. This isn't code, this is begging to a false god that cannot understand your words.

So apparently I made a super-lightweight Point-of-Sale app for my local association, I could build it for a very old Android tablet, and I'm gonna crash-test it this weekend at our game convention.

Wish me luck 👍️

Side-note: most point-of-sale apps are bloated, internet-only, or too complex for what I needed, hence why I created a simpler one.

I've seen shitty projects for my entire career, odd legacy apps with weird architecture, clumsy code and inconsistent logic, but the WORST ecosystem that I have EVER worked with has always been mobile/tablet. Nothing comparable.

Fun fact: the elephant is the mascot for the PHP programming language.

Elephants gather in herds, but they’re led by a matriarch. The males are not part of herds. They roam solo.

Since we’re said to be part of the “elephpant herd” one can assume that PHP is inherently female - in both makeup and leadership.

You’re welcome.

Claude Code's source code has been leaked via a map file in their NPM registry https://xcancel.com/Fried_rice/status/2038894956459290963 😂

Guess what? Most of code is either slop or even old good regex like for detecting negative sentiment in users prompt which is then logged

These tools are going to replace 80% of all dev jobs and their plugin is gonna maintain all security and banking code? 🤡

Why did they call it "vibecoding" when "slopware development" was right there?

$company: You might be a PHP dev with a track record of OSS work, conference talks, experience with good practices, good examples, strong knowledge of design patterns, and experience across multiple frameworks with impactful projects, but your *Laravel* knowledge isn't strong so we need to *really* test you to see if you're good enough

$companyIHaveANewJobAt: Oh you haven't used (in a professional setting) the language we use before? That's fine
