Indeed. That's why Anthropic had to hire real engineers to make sure their vibe-coded shit doesn't consume 68GB of RAM. Because real world: https://x.com/jarredsumner/status/2026497606575398987

If your job has been totally unaffected by AI, then I am jealous.

I’m not trying to argue that AI can do everything today. I acknowledge that there are many things that it is not good at.

But do you believe that they'll continue to improve until they're good at everything, all the time, in ways a human can never match?

If yes, then that's dangerously optimistic. If not, then we'll always need humans who have learned the "hard way" (the Alices, not the Bobs). But if LLMs make it impossible for Alices to come up in the field, we're screwed.

		I think that a lot of software engineering work is a lot simpler than people like to think, and that the demand for Alices is far outweighed by the demand for Bobs. I think there will always be a place for Alices, but there will be a drastic reduction in the workforce. I think all of this unconditionally about future improvement in AI - in my view the models today are more than capable of bringing about this shift, it will just take time.

Anthropic is still getting weekly memory leak reports with memory leaking at a rate of 61GB/h and all of them are getting closed automatically as duplicates.

I personally haven't tried Claude Code because I can't install it on my PC. I'm starting to get the impression that they banned non Claude products from using their subscription, because their products are of such a poor quality that everyone is fleeing from them.
