Can machine learning and AI make programmers obsolete? Can A...

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

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

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

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

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

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:

How can you determine if your therapist has crossed professional boundaries and become too emotionally invested in your relationship as a patient/client?

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