To the reader/asker:
And presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):
Now, let’s think about that for a second or two. Such an elementary matter and such egregious error of omission!

Let’s use the agent to see if it can search at least, when it doesn’t know?
Here’s the proof :
Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

And hey Claude? There’s a reserved float division /. if both numbers are floats, for sure (19) but so can one use // even though both are integers (20):
I don’t think so Claudeboy.
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 did my ex move on very fast?
And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:
Re——-aaaaalllllly.
As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.
What traits are considered unattractive? Which traits are typically seen as attractive and why?
Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?
You can do modulus with %. In fact, it’s the standard way to do it! (See command 17). And mod is deprecated (command 18):
And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?
Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.
