For any AI post, there seems like that one person for whom it worked great, and a whole lot where it didn't. Your mileage may vary...

Some things AI does well, many things it may be not worth the effort entailed, and some where it downright sucks and may even be harmful. The question is will it ever change the curve to where it is useful most of the time?

Like any tool, you get better at using it. YMMV indeed.

The author of this article could probably have, for example, written most of this into the project’s Claude.md and the AI would learn what not to do.

Instead they wrote it up as a blog post which is unsurprisingly not going to net quality software.

Having some way for Claude to test what it wrote is critical as well. It will learn on its own very fast if it can see the error messages and iterate on it like any other developer would

Sounds like the author had tests that Claude never ran. Sounds misconfigured to me. Again, did the author learn how to use the tool?
