Today's clode (Claude's code) is high quality on surface but hides deep bugs in its verbosity.
An experienced coder wouldn't have made those errors but is unable to catch them when reviewing.
We're going to be drowned in huge unfixable code bases.

#rustlang hot take: We should rename .unwrap() to .or_panic(). (And .expect() to .or_panic_with().) "Unwrap" is a terrible name for the panicking function, especially since we also have things like .unwrap_or() and .unwrap_or_default() which never panic.

Honestly, I'm *really* excited to see what kind of diff to expect in embedded, where we REALLY feel the impact of "fmt bloat". ESPECIALLY if it blunts the impact of "panic bloat" as well, which has been a long time stumbling step:

The anti-vaccine movement has the same talking points now as it did in the 1800’s. It’s always been a rejection of science, scientists, and progress, with a soupçon of paranoia.
Below is a slide for a talk I’m preparing that illustrates the identical strategies. I have more examples, too.

Accuse expert vaccine advisory committees of pro-vaccine "bias"
"That commission was deliberately packed at its very outset..."
"The committee has been plagued with persistent conflicts of interest and has become little more than a rubber stamp for any vaccine".
Falsely state that vaccines cause death
"Vaccination has caused more deaths and diseases than ever has smallpox".
"This [COVID19 vaccine] is the deadliest vaccine ever made..."
Claim that healthcare practitioners and scientists are only in it for the money, not because of scientific evidence
"...Jenner was a mercenary charlatan whose ignorance and impatience of scientific methods were equaled only by his mendacity..."
"Doctors are being paid to vaccinate, not to evaluate. They're pressured to follow the money, not the science".
Use false and inflammatory words about vaccines
