I just used Claude yesterday to add some functionality to an existing python script that interacts with AWS. It created an unnecessary loop where 2 of 3 iterations were effectively no-ops. So while it did ultimately provide what I needed, I still had to refactor what it generated in order to remove the useless loop.
Remember, it was trained on Stack Overflow… a self-selected collection of “beginner” questions with a lot of “this is good enough to get you unstuck” answers. If you want better, you have to specify and test to ensure you get better.
