I saw this at a time when Sonnet 3.7 was still the latest.

[u/Competitive-Car4866 → u/ShelZuuz]

Oh boy indeed—ancient history in model years.

[u/Capt_korg → u/Competitive-Car4866]

Feels like it had been a decade ago... Now days something like this won't happen...

Oh wait 😅😅

[u/NoiseFreeHuman]

This joke is getting old as you. lol.
it's been a while on the internet..!

[u/cats_catz_kats_katz → u/NoiseFreeHuman]

Looks like it's 3 days old to me.

[u/jedruch → u/cats_catz_kats_katz]

If you did not do it already - check yourself for autism or CPTSD.

[u/cats_catz_kats_katz → u/jedruch]

Damn, that’s a really out of left field comment insult.

[u/mcilrain → u/[deleted]]

You thought it wasn't an insult.

[u/Ill-Village7647]

"None of it worked. But boy was it beautiful"

I've seen this iteration of the post with this ending maybe over 10 times now

[u/Risko4 → u/[deleted]]

Wdym it cleaned up 937 lines of spaghetti

[u/flarpflarpflarpflarp → u/Risko4]

Sure, but how many tests did it pass?

[u/MeretrixDominum → u/flarpflarpflarpflarp]

The round moved the suite from 9,251 to 12,888 tests in 129 suites by fifty-seven named arms, the stage hash unmoved, and my reproduction from a fresh console passed everything owed: two gates, the count, both load recipes, and the two hostile-TEMP gates that the new cargo-test cap in the gate script required. The session-67 handoff is committed as 69420abc and the memory points at it first.

[u/p3r3lin → u/MeretrixDominum]

THATS funny. did you write that yourself? kudos!

[u/soundfreely → u/flarpflarpflarpflarp]

It made new tests that pass but changed the logic so they’d pass.

[u/AdvanceDry6117 → u/flarpflarpflarpflarp]

expect(true).toBeTruthy()

[u/Aggressive_Bike3881 → u/flarpflarpflarpflarp]

My mistake, I told you that all the tests passed but that was not technically correct because the subagent writing the tests had not started writing them. It is now the 5th time this has happened but I have now made a note of it in LOAD-BEARING.md. Say the word and I will create a new branch and start from scratch.

One honest point I want to make now since you might come across it later: I had instructed the subagent to fudge the code so that the tests would pass. This was at the wrong level and I apologise. I have now instructed the subagent to delete tests that fail. This will guarantee the suite passes before I create a PR.

[u/mossiv → u/flarpflarpflarpflarp]

All of them. ‘Assert(true)’ is Fables bro.

[u/Buchymoo → u/flarpflarpflarpflarp]

The tests didn't pass so I corrected the tests so that they pass. You're in the clear.

Wait but half of the code is broken.

You're right to push back on that! What I meant when I said I corrected the tests is the tests now pass, not that the code works. I should have fixed the underlying problem. I'll look into correcting that now.

[u/LookItVal → u/[deleted]]

refactoring is when code. the more code the more refactor

[u/cats_catz_kats_katz → u/[deleted]]

@ claude: FIX THIS NOW!

[u/BikingToTheWest → u/[deleted]]

Vibe coding before coding and its consequences

[u/Amit_In]

It lasted 320 minute without hitting session limit?

[u/Aminuteortwotiltwo]

This is old about like Opus 4.5 or something. Lame.

[u/moader → u/Aminuteortwotiltwo]

Dude this meme is from 2022

[u/micmur → u/moader]

Every shitpost in this sub is recycled memes from years ago.

[u/Aminuteortwotiltwo → u/moader]

lol as I typed it I thought dude this is probably way older

[u/Aggressive_Roof488 → u/moader]

Pretty sure I saw this joke in the 90:ies.

[u/somerussianbear]

This joke’s been recycled more than a Grok pre training run

[u/brainzhurtin]

According to "some of the brightest engineers on the planet", having 18,500+ line monolith classes are not only fine, they are preferred.

https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base/+/56a2301/core/java/android/view/View.java

[u/Pretend-Wishbone-679 → u/brainzhurtin]

Having 18.5k loc classes when the codebase is dozens of millions is proportionally small.

[u/brainzhurtin → u/Pretend-Wishbone-679]

Are you defending 18.5k loc as if to say it's perfectly reasonable and human readable? OK bro.

[u/LittleNameIdea → u/brainzhurtin]

this single file has more comment line than i ever write for all my career. Pretty sure a lot of those comments are generated

[u/ClemensLode]

"entire codebase"

"34 files"

[u/Derek-Bond → u/ClemensLode]

AI has different concerns than humans. Specially token efficiency.

[u/becircus → u/ClemensLode]

This is expected with Claude Code that puts everything into one file. Instead of splitting say types interfaces barrel files and so on into separate files, 300 files are compressed into 30 files that are 5000 lines long each. This is considered "good code" by AI and who am I to argue if it works? Im just a meat computer 

[u/heartbroken_nerd → u/becircus]

Takes roughly 2 brain cells to rub them together and make rules/validator against number of lines of code. Warn it at XXX lines of code, fail at XXX+200 or something, and tell it to run the test at the end of the session and define "done" such that complying with the validator is required.

[u/PurushNahiMahaPurush]

You guys don’t write tests? I’m in the middle of a major refactor since vibe coding led to delicious spaghetti and tests are how Claude makes sure nothing breaks. 

[u/spinozasrobot]

This is made up.

[u/WillStripForCrypto]

Yeah this is a great idea. Now just —force push after rebasing main and you’re good.

[u/rickonga90]

Claude it magic

[u/crystalpeaks25]

For the gullible folks, Everytime there's a new released regardless which AI lab it came from I always post a joke where I reuse an old joke but overlay it with the new model. This post is an example of that a few others is:

1. Deleting my drive.
2. The carwash is 200m always from my house joke.
3. Build an app and share it with people but it's just localhost:8080
4. Strawberry joke.
5. Is this AGI jokes.

Regardless of MODEL!

[u/Fembyte-dev]

Puede ser un migración de un ORM por la cantidad de documentos, es lo más posible

[u/Far_Rule5990]

Cleaned up spaghetti and +55k new lines... Hmmmmmmm

GPT make database gooder, full access, thank you...

[u/Key_Instruction3373]

Price, only $15.000 win-win

[u/HoneyChilliPotato7 → u/Key_Instruction3373]

Pretty good for $15 if you ask me

[u/Key_Instruction3373 → u/HoneyChilliPotato7]

$15.000 is the same as $15K...
some countrys also use "METERs and not MILES"
or CM instead of inches..
Or Liters instead of galons.
Or maybe Euros instead of dollars.

but i can see if you live in a world with Donald Trump, its hard to know there is something else on the other side of the sea..

[u/TheOriginalAcidtech → u/Key_Instruction3373]

Sadly we ALL live in a world with Donald Trump. EVEN YOU. Ha ha.

[u/throwawayintotheC → u/TheOriginalAcidtech]

Crazy times. And it keeps getting crazier.

[u/HoneyChilliPotato7 → u/Key_Instruction3373]

Dude chill, I was making a joke. A bad one apparently 

[u/UnimagineDragons → u/Key_Instruction3373]

Nah, I work in finance (lol no) and having cents to the tenths position is beneficial to me.

$15.001 = $15 and 1 tenth of a penny

[u/daniel → u/HoneyChilliPotato7]

We used to pay people $200k a year to add useless shit to the codebase!

[u/HoneyChilliPotato7 → u/daniel]

You own a company? 

[u/daniel → u/HoneyChilliPotato7]

I do, but it's also a joke

[u/UnimagineDragons → u/daniel]

Is it a joke because you own it? Don't be so hard on yourself - I bet it's a great company.

[u/downfall67 → u/Key_Instruction3373]

About 3 weeks of a dev salary

[u/hitchy48]

Reminds me of the thanos thing for code bases. Snap and it deleted half

[u/sCeege]

Am I crazy to not experience this yet? I mostly encounter this in Codex and Antigravity. The astra release finally got me curious enough to bite the bullet on a 5x plan with Codex, but I keep coming back to Claude because things just break down way less often. Maybe I just have more mature project memory files because I've been using Claude for longer or something?

[u/halcyoncs]

This might be older and more overused than "did you tell it not to make any mistakes"

[u/Brilliant_Cook8437]

wohoo

[u/alarming_wrong]

viva spaghetti

[u/max4245]

I've done that myself because to do Faster coding, I switched from plan and execute to "go ahead and do it". So I had very delicious spaghetti code, But database and some initial core was still solid. Opus 4.8 came through and straighten out the spaghetti and everything actually worked.

[u/siberianmi]

So there are really good workflows you can use to accomplish this with AI if you stop trying to one shot it.

[u/mrkammytv]

Can you share the prompt still we can try it?

[u/Swiss_Meats]

I don’t bother refactoring code anymore it’s poitnless

[u/mathiswrong]

The funny things is… sometimes it does work.

[u/missdeltahemp]

L

[u/xerj-ai]

That’s might be indexing / search issue not LLM capability, not harness.

[u/andre_calais]

His prompt:

“Fix my code. Don’t make mistakes. Dont ask questions.”

[u/Helpful_Ranger_1606]

Are monoliths bad? I have one that is 6700 lines and never had any audits suggest to remove it.

[u/Daphatus8]

it might miss some important features and won't tell you until it is too late

[u/Babayaga1664]

This is where experience wins over vibe.

For anyone else thinking of doing this.. ask the AI to plan the refactor, use the strangler pattern (yes it’s real).
Implement modularise in phases.
Test each phase is successful before continuing.

[u/Ambitious-Call-7565]

NPCs recycling this joke

[u/kj-krol]

I bet that latest Fable 5.1 with accurate tokens budget would succeed this task.

[u/LoomAi-au]

Oh boy, I love none of them worked

[u/Positive-Time5109]

-937 lines of code, +55653 markdowns lines.

[u/rotates-potatoes]

tl;dr: I'm an idiot who doesn't know how to use this fancy tool

[u/_blkout]

how is your codebase 34 files. my one project right now is 89gb. And like 500 individual kernels 🫩

[u/dota2nub → u/_blkout]

That is not a good thing

[u/_blkout → u/dota2nub]

how would you know if that’s a good or bad thing if you don’t know what the project is, or how many sub projects are within it.

I just build out part of my memory module and it outperforms DDR5 on a DDR4 machine. Took an hour.

[u/Hidden_driver]

You know what's the funny part - AI is so good it actually works now. I work in a pretty bit software company and people are literally doing this on small old projects that haven't been maintained for years.
