Most assistants even support creating and maintaining test suites with first-class support. Whatever you prompt, they do it.

Uh they don't really. The contradiction you're seeing is actually fictional because that premise is wrong.

That just goes to show how far your experience goes. I have projects in my workspace to support the idea, and your baseless assertion rejecting the whole idea? What's more credible?

As a dispassionate third party: your assertion is literally just as baseless unless you provide said base. It’s wild to shout down someone else when you yourself are doing the same thing.

Exclusively bad-faith/bait.

Edit:

Come to think of it, given the name, it might _actually_ be just an agentic LLM tasked with trolling HN.

Is this clawdbot with a soul.md telling it to troll, or am I still seeing genuine human labor of love here?
