Can machine learning and AI make programmers obsolete? Can AI make software coding and debugging a thing of the past?

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

Let’s use the agent to see if it can search at least, when it doesn’t know?

Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?

We Still Don’t Know How Tickling Works But a New ‘Tickle Lab’ at a University is Finding Out - Good News Network

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

You can do modulus with %. In fact, it’s the standard way to do it! (See command 17). And mod is deprecated (command 18):

Let’s ask Claude Sonnet 3.5, which is quite the advanced model (at par with Deepseek V3 R1 and GPT 4o) a very simple question:

Bryce Huff thankful he landed with 49ers - NBC Sports

Now, let’s think about that for a second or two. Such an elementary matter and such egregious error of omission!

And presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):

To the reader/asker:

Fixing the Phoenix Suns: Retooling the roster in 6 steps - Bright Side Of The Sun

Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.

Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

Do you think trump realizes that if he significantly decreases the size of CIA, that there is a higher chance of him being assassinated?

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

And hey Claude? There’s a reserved float division /. if both numbers are floats, for sure (19) but so can one use // even though both are integers (20):

Here’s the proof :

Eric Mangini defends Shedeur Sanders after speeding incidents - New York Post

And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:

As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.
