The modern one:

When there's a function that can be written manually in 10 minutes but you find a way to do it in 10 days using LLMs

And the steps aren’t reproducible because the LLM does something different every time. So you can’t consistently recreate it.

That is my favorite way to notice my knob coworkers are sending me slop PRs. The same function written 3 different ways and all three have a different bugs.
