Meanwhile, I asked this morning Claude 4 to write a simple EXIF normalizer. After two rounds of prompting it to double-check its code, I still had to point out that it makes no sense to load the entire image for re-orientating if the EXIF orientation is fine in the first place.

Vibe vs reality, and anyone actually working in the space daily can attest how brittle these systems are.

Maybe this changes in SWE with more automated tests in verifiable simulators, but the real world is far to complex to simulate in its vastness.

On the other hand, posts like this are like watching someone writing ask jeeves search queries into google 20 years ago and then gesturing how google sucks while everyone else in the room has figured out how to be productive with it and cringes at his "boomer" queries.

If you're still struggling to make LLMs useful for you by now, you should probably ask someone. Don't let other noobs on HN +1'ing you hold you back.

Perhaps consider making some tutorials, then, and share your wealth of knowledge rather than calling people stupid.

I wouldn't want to rob them of the satisfaction of self-reliance.
