I wonder how many of these people in this thread made their snarky comment and went right back to Claude Code

Before LLMs were a thing, my CS1 professor used to call it “The Big Bang Theory”: You write some code and then BANG! It works!

Of course, it doesn’t work, and the results are unpredictable bad software that you don’t understand. The point of the analogy was that you need to analyze and literally iterate over code to gain concrete proof of what it was actually doing to engineer a coherent software design.

I just want to say: I appreciate all these comments so much, I regret that I only have a single upvote to give each of them. You all give me hope that at least there will be fellow humans standing by my side through... wherever this goes.
