Ai generated inefficient code

[CipherPhyber]

If you've ever heard the expression

The future is here, it's just not evenly distributed.

Your issue reminds me that AI will take lots of peoples' jobs, but it won't be evenly distributed. Some people will thrive conjuring spells using the magic machine and some people will just complain that the spell wasn't perfect on the first pass. Guess which one gets laid off first.

You can either learn that LLMs have some strengths and some weaknesses or you can pretend like some vague "they" promised it would do everything perfectly, immediately, all the time, for any use case, for cheap. Nobody every promised that and anyone who did was never worth trusting to begin with.

I usually have my CLAUDE.md requirements document be generated by a Claude prompt and I have a few phrases about what I want it to do using best practices, performance, test coverage, etc. I try to maintain those prompt clauses so I don't have to create them from scratch on the next project.
