It feels analogous to what would happen if you put me in front of a broken project without source control that I've never seen before and asked me to fix it without giving me enough time to actually understand it. It starts from errors and bugs, guesses corresponding source code, and tries to narrowly fix just that snippet. Generally it favors deleting, but not specifically deleting new code.

I would have thought it could record a log of its actions and use that log to think about undoing. I would also think it could annotate lines with git blame so it knows undoing wouldn't involve changing anything more than say a day old. Unfortunately that isn't consistent with what I've seen.

I just make a WIP git commit and run git commit -A --amend --no-edit after manually reviewing each unit of work.

Edit: I also wish Claude implemented undo at a higher level instead of relying on the model. Some combination of snapshotting the whole repo and tracking operations that have precise inverses. But I understand that would have drawbacks.

Couldn't any modern AI model know that Zig docs are relevant to the question, figure out how to find the docs, write some code to parse it, and guess how frequently to update it's cache?

I expect there to be plenty of problems AI can't write for the foreseeable future but they have a very different vibe from this.

Edit: I just asked Claude Sonnet 4 to pretend it has a tool that makes docs available that has an update frequency parameter. It said the zig stdlib should be updated weekly but the Java stdlib would only need quarterly. Seems reasonable to me.

This is probably a dumb question but doesn't that require an SSL cert? Obviously the NSA can get someone to issue a cert for a domain they don't own but wouldn't that be visible?

Couldn't you have every user device log the SSL certs it sees to detect this attack? What about CT?

That's historic data

    function sleep(ms) {
        return new Promise((resolve) =>
            setTimeout(() => resolve(), ms)
        );
     }
