agents be like "It's done! It's perfect and complete and ready to ship, all thanks to your genius! Would you like me to ship it to prod now?"

and I'm like "how about you run the tests first"

and the AI is like "It doesn't compile."

And people say LLMs are nothing like people

🤣 they are exactly like junior devs, just faster and smarter but with the same amount of common sense and confidence

The best thing is to ignore them until they're principal engineers. Should be about six months or so

"Why are you ignoring the very clear instructions in CLAUDE.md?"

i have just started playing with /init

this worktree does not have a claude.md file yet

Bad news, it will ignore the instructions and you'll find yourself saying exactly what I posted 😭

seems like more of an informational getting started guide than a place for instructions. again, i haven't used it extensively but that's the vibe i got from the one i generated in another directory.

i wonder if it shrinks your context window on every request 🤔
