It seems like AI really HATES the new syntax in Go that lets you do: for i := range 25 { ... } Every time I give it code with this syntax it just OBSESSES over how wrong it is. And then mansplains Go syntax to me. And then doesn't answer my original question.

Me: "commits.txt contains 150k git hashes. It's too large for me to use effectively. Please convert it to 160 byte integers laid end-to-end." AI: Reads the entire fucking file and blows up the conversation.

Coders love vibe coding because it’s just gambling: You give Claude code something you worked on for a long time, it takes some money, the little Claude asshole spins, and either your repo got a shiny new feature or it is fucked beyond repair. But the next prompt could fix it
