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

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

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

Why does it matter so much to atheists that God doesn't exist?

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

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

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

Why do heterosexual men like anal sex with women? I think it's because they secretly want to have anal sex with a man? What do you think?

You can do modulus with %. In fact, it’s the standard way to do it! (See command 17). And mod is deprecated (command 18):

Here’s the proof :

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

How do people in your country say "you're welcome" in their native language(s)? Is it a commonly known phrase or do most people just reply with "no problem"?

As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.

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

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

Let’s use the agent to see if it can search at least, when it doesn’t know?

And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:

Trump tariffs expected to dampen global economic growth, OECD says - The Washington Post

Let’s ask Claude Sonnet 3.5, which is quite the advanced model (at par with Deepseek V3 R1 and GPT 4o) a very simple question:

And hey Claude? There’s a reserved float division /. if both numbers are floats, for sure (19) but so can one use // even though both are integers (20):

Can machine learning and AI make programmers obsolete? Can AI make software coding and debugging a thing of the past?
