It's wild how many of the links are hallucinations.

Maybe the error rate is consistent with everything else, we just eisegesis our way into thinking it's not

I’ve had Claude hallucinate options for a lot of things, most recently DOM method arguments, and Wrangler configuration. It’s like, very reasonable things you might expect to exist. But they don’t.

I must be holding it wrong. How are people working with these tools to produce quality software?

In case you're not being sarcastic: they're not.

Most of the time AI will auto complete the line or couple lines of code I’m writing with perfect correctness. You still need to be able to notice when it hallucinates something wrong and understand why it’s wrong and how to fix it. But the amount of time saved by simply not having to type so much is so great.
