Re——-aaaaalllllly.

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

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

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:

To the reader/asker:

Is 2 months enough for optimum learning time in meta ads? I'm still not getting the sales at the rate I want?

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

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

Here’s the proof :

Is marijuana bad for you?

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):

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

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

What explanations do flat earthers have for the shape of our planet? If they do not have any, why should their opinions on this topic be considered credible?

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

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

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

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

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

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