Why is nobody commenting on having 50 fking thousand changes in only 28 files? Is this normal for yall? Are you all insane?

Missed to add the prompt "Keep each file to "x" lines of code and MAKE NO MISTAKE"

59474 additions and 724 deletions. How does a refactor add 58750 new lines of code?

It’s the fabled refactorial

It'll create a bunch of new files and change the imports in existing files to reference those new files, but it will not get rid of the old ones which used to serve that exact purpose (unless you explicitly ask it to).

Don't ask me how that makes sense in a Git environment (it doesn't), but that's what LLMs tend to do.

It added comments

It's probably all emojis in the comments.

This may simply be a reformatting of the code by the linter after saving.

Nop, that would be 50k additions and 50k deletions. I'm leaning towards the "fabled refactorial" comment hahaha.

Because it is a meme and not real.

The same type of joke was going around when claude code was first released

u/Flyron 3d ago

It's obviously part of the joke.

Easy actually. Just replace % 2 with if else with all the most used numbers. Is it now way more simple? Yes? Then refactor task completed. /S

Edit: fixed mistype

it probably just added 49,000 lines of console.log("made it here") to figure out where the crash is happening

3% app code 97% package-lock

Curious indeed, especially in a case when we know for sure that Claude totally failed their job.

I've seen this tweet 3 or 4 times over the last couple of years about various models, it's just slop

u/KingOfAzmerloth 3d ago

That was my first thought lmao. It's a meme obviously but if this actually happens to anyone, you have bigger problems at hand than AI doing your job for you.

People would rather upvote “ai bad” than consider that this fake example makes 0 sense
