Recently, I was browsing through commits on a tool I use, to evaluate how AI-slopped it had become, and came across this absolutely amazing sentence that took me several passes to interpret, courtesy of Fable:

> The wrapper is the try/finally seam future entry-condition changes need without re-indenting the loop.

So this is definitely not an Opus-specific issue, as some people seem to believe.

This is why I reject agentic workflows and, in fact, do not let Claude perform commits at all. I remain in control of Git completely and read all the diffs.

Also, in my experience, agentic flows are just bad. They seem like a productivity gain until you notice that it uses 100x more tokens, and therefore more time. I can prompt and read answers faster.

I actually can't read this.

> The statement-list walk without the per-list pending-fiber flush

"Per-list pending-fiber flush?" Surely there's a clearer way to express this? Was it helpful necessary to describe "the statement-list walk" as a noun instead of talking about "walking the statement list"?

> A pure move: processStmtNodesInternalWithoutFlushingPendingFibers() becomes a delegating wrapper and the loop body is byte-identical

Did this need to be prefixed by "A pure move"? Why does the bytes of the text content of the loop body matter?

I found this too: https://github.com/phpstan/phpstan-src/commit/a9260cb3584854...

> Parked fibers are idle workers, not pending work - skipping their no-op fuel starves nothing.

"No-op fuel"? Really?

I don't think anyone can. At this point, I'm almost starting to believe it's an intentional move to discourage reviewing AI-generated commits by making them extremely unpleasant to read, in favor of just pushing straight to master without question.

Now that's a thought.-
