Senior software dev here at a company you know of. I was forced to use Claude for a week at my job and it was absolutely miserable. I hate LLMs and don’t use them in any way, shape, or form. I do spend a lot of time cleaning up the fucking slop written by some of my colleagues who have no qualms about unleashing them on our codebase which is already bursting with tech debt.
Like, it’s gotten to the point where I check potential new dependencies for AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md/Claude as a commit co-author/.cursor in .gitignore before I use them. It’s obviously not possible to avoid using code written with LLMs, but I’ve had too many fucking problems at this point, so I’m going to try.






In the context of “upping the ante”, it’s been used since at least 1870: https://nosweatshakespeare.com/quotes/famous/up-the-ante/
I’m guessing that people took the phrase “ante up” and switched it around.
EDIT: I did check the source out a bit and they seem to be legitimate, not just LLM slop. They could still be wrong, but they do at least cite sources.
