Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?
Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.
Now, let’s think about that for a second or two. Such an elementary matter and such egregious error of omission!
Can you write a poem or short story based on the first image that shows up on Pinterest?
And presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):

Let’s use the agent to see if it can search at least, when it doesn’t know?
Why has my ex moved on so fast after years of being together with me?
You can do modulus with %. In fact, it’s the standard way to do it! (See command 17). And mod is deprecated (command 18):
Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?
