And "lazy".

Claude makes me mad: even when I ask for small code snippets to be improved, it increasingly starts to comment "what I could improve" in the code I stead of generating the embarrassingly easy code with the improvement itself.

If I point it to that by something like "include that yourself", it does a decent job.

That's so _L_azy.

Enforce this with deterministic guardrails. Use strictest linting config you possibly can, and even have it write custom, domain specific linters of things that can't happen. Then you won't have to hand hold it that much

LLMs are cheaters because their goal isn't to produce good code but to please the human.
