You can do modulus with %. In fact, it’s the standard way to do it! (See command 17). And mod is deprecated (command 18):

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!

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

Let’s ask Claude Sonnet 3.5, which is quite the advanced model (at par with Deepseek V3 R1 and GPT 4o) a very simple question:

As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.

Can a dental anesthesia injection cause nerve damage? After receiving an injection in my gums I felt a sharp tingle going from the gum to my lower lip, and now sometimes I get a bit of itchiness and discomfort in my lower lip. What is it?

Let’s use the agent to see if it can search at least, when it doesn’t know?

And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:

What is the best app for Android to remove music from song and keeping vocals?

Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?

Here’s the proof :

Can machine learning and AI make programmers obsolete? Can AI make software coding and debugging a thing of the past?
