I do not believe you read my comment in good conscience.
>>Claude was consistently doing database operations in a for loop, where it could use batch operations.
>>The code in the end is better than a lot of the code I've seen humans write.
>It's a little amusing to see those two sentences written back to back with no hint of irony to be frank.
There is no irony because I have seen humans do the same thing. The difference is that the human was paid 50x more.
I do not understand your arguments around outsource shops. I get clients. They want something. I deliver. There is not a lot of complexity to this. I am not a world start programmer that has 50 clients to choose from.
>>Set up excellent testing.
>Is this the part that you hand code or constantly review yourself? I guess not, since you would have explicitly mentioned something that important. I would caution you not to be surprised when no one believes you have excellent testing when you've unleashed multiple LLMs on it and are not reviewing code anymore.
I set up excellent testing the same way a CTO would set up excellent testing: I give clear guidelines on the architecture I want to see on the project. I then review key parts and samples of it and give feedback. When it looks good I mark it as done and move on. Any bugs or defects always result in additional test coverage.
I'm happy to have a constructive discussion about this, but I do not appreciate your sarcastic, tongue-in-cheek, condescending tone. It makes people not wanting to communicate with you.
