It doesn't help that a lot of skeptics are also dishonest. A few days ago someone here tried to claim that inserting verbose debug logging, something Claude Code would be very good at, is "actually programming" and it's important work for humans to do.

No, Claude can create logs all across my codebase with much better formatting far faster than I can, so I can focus on actual problem solving. It's frustrating, but par for the course for this forum.

Edit: Dishonest isn't correct, I should have said I just disagree with their statements. I do apologize.



That's not what dishonesty means. That's just someone who disagrees with you


Thank you for calling out my inaccuracy. One thing I'm always appreciative for in HN is the level of pedantry day after day.

lol. That made me chuckle.


That's not pedantry, pedantry would be if it were a very minor or technical detail, but being dishonest doesn't have anything to do with having a different opinion.

But this comment might step a bit into pedantry.


> But this comment might step a bit into pedantry.

Especially if I point out that they said "are also", not "are".


No, some skeptics are actually dishonest. It's part of trolling, and trolling is in fashion right now. Granted, some skeptics are fair, but many do it strictly for the views, without any due diligence.
