And it wouldn't be their first time.

Check https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43217357 by the same author. That post got flagged for being misleading too.

Read https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43220639 for same type of criticism.

The OP seems to be on an LLM spree. They ask LLM to produce code. The code is invariable always broken thanks to hallucinations but they go ahead and post it on HN anyway with a misleading title.

Ah well maybe the blogs are written by an LLM to try to gain "agency" or test how compelling their poopy code is against people on the internet for free... I cannot imagine what would motivate an actual person to be that publicly wrong and frankly hostile about it while maintaining any sense of reputation...
