Can machine learning and AI make programmers obsolete? Can A...

To the reader/asker:

And presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):

Now, let’s think about that for a second or two. Such an elementary matter and such egregious error of omission!

Are you happy with your life?

Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?

Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?

Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.
