We got to go inside one of the hobbit holes. They are quite big inside (scaled up slightly for humans). The detail is insane.

People Who Love Corporate BS Are Bad at Their Jobs, New Cornell Research Confirms
Ever had to work with someone who spewed corporate bullshit all day long, yup, that person. Science proved what we all knew all along: they are bad at practical decision making and analytical thinking.

Its shocking how bad it actually is

reminder that anthropic ran (and is still running) an ENTIRE AD CAMPAIGN around "Claude code is written with claude code" and after the source was leaked that has got to be the funniest self-own in the history of advertising because OH BOY IT SHOWS. it's hard to get across in microblogging format just how big of a dumpster fire this thing is, because what it "looks like" is "everything is done a dozen times in a dozen different ways, and everything is just sort of jammed in anywhere. to the degree there is any kind of coherent structure like 'tools' and 'agents' and whatnot, it's entirely undercut by how the entire rest of the code might have written in some special condition that completely changes how any such thing might work." I have read a lot of unrefined, straight from the LLM code, and Claude code is a masterclass in exactly what you get when you do that - an incomprehensible mess.

and what if i told you that if it passes a page range to its pdf reader, it first extracts those pages to separate images and then calls this function in a loop on each of the pages. so you have the privilege of compressing n_pages images n_pages * 13 times. this function is used 13 times: in the file reader, in the mcp result handler, in the bash tool, and in the clipboard handler - each of which has their entire own surrounding image handling routines that are each hundreds of lines of similar but still very different fallback code to do exactly the same thing. so that's where all the five hundred thousand lines come from - fallback conditions and then more fallback conditions to compensate for the variable output of all the other fallback conditions. thirteen butts pooping, back and forth, forever.

holy shit there's another entire fallback tree before this one, that's actually an astounding twenty two times it's possible to compress an image across nine independent conditional legs of code in a single api call. i can't even screenshot this, the spaghetti is too powerful

alrighty so that's one of 43 tools read, the tools directory being 38494 source lines out of 390592 source lines, 513221 total lines. I need to go to bed. This is the most fabulously, flamboyantly bad code i have ever encountered. Worth noting I was reading the file reading tool because i thought it would be the simplest possible thing one could do because it basically shouldn't be doing anything except preparing and sending strings or bytes to the backend. I expected to get some sense of "ok what is the format of the data as it's passed around within the program, surely text strings are a basic unit of currency. No dice. Fewer than no dice. Negative dice somehow.

This is amazing. A dev on Mastodon is going through the Claude code leak and appraising the code.

To say the code is bad would be an understatement and shows just how much of a grift all this AI BS really is.
