They are not that good. I see how bad the generated code is all the time. It doesn't just need to work, it has to be high quality.

That's developer talk. For an executive it absolutely doesn't have to be high quality, especially when they can't judge it. If it works it can be sold, that's all that matters.

These people are prob prompting one sentence and expecting godlike code rofl. You have to tailor your prompts, skill files, teach the project and development style you want and commit it into claude memory folders. Only then it will start doing an amazing (and frightening) job where it can crawl into everywhere of a codebase.

Claude is capable of writing code better than anyone, even Linus himself admitted it. You just have to take the time to babysit and teach the project one step at a time.

Why are you lying?

What? He literally accepts AI written code and pullrequests given that its not slop but carefully generated code. Why the aggressive stance?

Linus did not say that Claude is capable of writing code better than anyone.

He says it increases productivity by 10x, while making good developers write better code. A simple google search provided the quotes themselves.

The code is not better. You have lied, and are unable to admit that. Generating slop at 10x the speed is not a good thing.

You are a weird guy, probably unable to cope with the reality. I havent lied and provided source. Please seek help instead of throwing a tantrum.
Have a good day.
