won't say I'm totally proud of myself here, but once I saw that the Claude C compiler was super buggy according to YARPGen and Csmith, I had a hard time preventing myself from doing something about it

not very surprisingly, the vibed up C compiler miscompiles 14 out of 100 Csmith programs and 5 out of 100 YARPgen programs

something I've been thinking about is how, when I teach a class, I tell the TAs to never, ever touch the keyboard when they're helping a student with an assignment. not even once! because as soon as someone else is driving, it becomes real easy for the student to stop thinking and just let things happen. kind of like what happens when we use a coding assistant.
