Oh god this has been driving me nuts since Opus 5 landed. Every docblock is filled with long-winded jargon explaining why this design is superior to some other design, which never existed as far as any dev who might read that comment is concerned.

This has been a thing for long while, on codex too.

You ask it to do something, then tell it to do something in a different way, then it assumes it needs to do the refactor in a backward compatible way, or creates migrations for it etc.

Omg the "backwards compatible fix" in a one-off script, I feel my ptsd coming on ...

Oh no, you said "landed"! It's dug into our brains!

I hate that I have to change the way I write to avoid AI-isms. I loved using "load bearing" to describe weird code that you think you can delete but is actually holding everything together.

Now people think I'm just parroting what Claude said. It sucks. I want my catch phrases back, I guess this is how em dash users felt

As a former em-dash enjoyer, I feel your pain.

You could say it landed cleanly.

Good instinct. Fair challenge. This corrects my framing. It makes your point sharp. This is a significant finding. Positively confirmed. That settles it, and it flips the picture. Honest verdict - this is not small. Let me wire it in.

There's got to be a Weird Al song like this coming soon.

Oh. Oh no.
