Reminds me a lot of BASIC I wrote back in the day, particularly the code for the bouncing sprite.

Seriously though it makes me think of how hit-or-miss Microsoft Copilot is at writing code (we have a special license to use it at work.)

For certain things such as writing short bash, CMD.EXE and PowerShell scripts it does great. It writes great list comprehensions in Python. Can convert code defining a set of typed dicts to a set of dataclasses. Can write a SQL query using an obscure (to me) feature and then rewrite it in JooQ.

But write a CTE expression in JooQ? It doesn't understand how to break the circularity.

Configure Vite? It will insist on the same wrong answers ceaselessly. On the other hand, if you look at StackOverlow the answer seems to be "you can't get here from there" or "there is this plugin that might help if it worked but it doesn't."
