"One cmake invocation goes from source to a bootable disc.gdi. No Platform Builder, no SDK install, no CD key." It's like the new emdash.

AI loves to sell the words they are saying like a QVC salesperson with a knife set.

It doesn't just cut cans, it cuts tomatos too. You would think you have to sharpen it, but you don't.

Not just this, but that.

Sounds nothing like a normal succenct engineer.

		I had Claude do a "short, succinct summary" of two bugs I found in someone else's Python code: one was missing parentheses around subtraction (x = a - b - c instead of x = a - (b - c)) and one was `SomeException("asdf")` instead of `raise SomeException("asdf")`. Both explanations were a paragraph of text, each about six lines long, which I replaced with a single sentence each.
