I have told Claude to f off so many times — I fear it might have learned that from me.

Sorry!

I think Claude just told me to f off :-(

Claude: "The current implementation works well and is clear. While [other API] could theoretically handle this, it's designed for more complex scenarios.

Conclusion: I think the current implementation is the right approach."

Am with you. Have been Claude Coding epithet v2 and am very impressed so far. It designs poorly but codes quickly. I can do the design, it can crank code implementing it way faster than I could, and the code is not bad (not great either), but it doesn’t mind getting instructions on what to fix!

Claude: 'This is getting ridiculous! Let me just go back to using ssh-keygen for signing the certificate. This Rust builder pattern is fundamentally broken with the `?` operator'

From Claude: 'Yes, I'm stuck on a frustrating Rust compiler issue. The error message "cannot move out of a mutable reference" doesn't make sense because we're not using any mutable references - the builder pattern should work by taking ownership with each method call.'

Muwahahahahahahaa

Standards bodies can help with adoption if adoption wanes because of incompatibility between implementations, or when competing as part of a marketing strategy, but in general just slow things down.

Standards bodies can be good to undercut a dominant de facto standard, prevent the worst breaking changes when something is done and the leaders want to move on with conservative governance in place, etc.
