Seems like LLMs really suffer from the "eh I'll just write it myself" mindset. Yesterday on a react app using react-query (library to manage caching and re-fetching of data) claude code wanted to update the cache manually, instead of just using a bit of state that was already in scope in the exact same component!

For me, stuff like that is the same weird uncanny valley that you used to see in AI text, and see now in AI video. It just does such inhuman things. A senior developer would NEVER think to manually mutate the cache, because it's such desperate hack. A junior dev wouldn't even realize it's an option.
