My favorite is Flibbitygibbeting…
I guess that’s why they have a setting for it.
But then again, I always used to think “if you name it CockroachDB, there’s no way in hell I’m recommending this to a non-tech client unless I’ve known them for years and they fully trust my judgement” and even then, I wouldn’t blame them for not taking it seriously.
So one man’s amusement is another man’s annoyance?
Unrelated, for me, Claude's most annoying feature is its existential urge to start implementing changes as soon as possible.
Easily the most annoying part. Claude and I will be at the beginning of understanding the shape of a problem and he’ll just dive right in.
Anthropic models -> avoidant
OpenAI -> prone to severe cognitive dissonance
Qwen -> borderline personality disorder (!). Took awhile to figure this one out, but this is where the extreme sycophancy in their models comes from.
At some point we really need to write these findings up properly.
That said, the Anthropic models definitely seem to be the least pathological; we were eventually able to get POC to stop doing the "I'll just run off and implement instead of discussing what to do!", but it took awhile.
When the simple approach - just explaining how we do things and why - doesn't work, that's a sure sign you're dealing with something more deeply rooted that needs real diagnosis. Exactly the same as with humans, oddly enough.
You can also turn off tips, but that's quite handy to learn when a new feature pops up
