And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
Now, let’s think about that for a second or two. Such an elementary matter and such egregious error of omission!

As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.
Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.
And presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):
Re——-aaaaalllllly.
