There’s a chap in the comments suggesting to stop worrying, you only need to keep to the spec. The sheer stupidity of that.. good god the stupidity.

    Another says that they should audit the AI code using AI. Basically saying lets wrap the blackbox with another blackbox but this time with markerpen writing on top of the blackbox.

    Idk how's that supposed to help, i'm not a programmer, but i'd assume if Claude misunderstood the code that they themselves wrote, the project became unfixable, and they might have to see themselves writing the whole thing from the ground up.

    What is a spec? Like what the code is meant to do?

    On a very basic level, it is indeed a description/definition of what your resulting code is supposed to do. The chap’s proposal is basically let ai read the spec and build the software. Tomorrow you find out it’s missing something so you only adapt the spec and let the ai build it from scratch. Now, it doesn’t take too much imagination to see where this can and absolutely will go wrong, and especially in what unknown and very interesting ways especially.
