There's the problem with your expectations. You may be able to follow your little guide to bash problems and "best practices" but defending against the innumerable shitass footguns present in bash is not a task that can be accomplished by anybody in a reasonable timeframe...
I wasn't so thrilled with Claude in the October 2025 timeframe - Opus was slow and costly and wrote un-necessarily weird solutions for simple problems, Sonnet would still get caught in bug-fix creates new bug loops. It (and the other models like Gemini, GPT, etc.) has improved, significantly, since then. Back then it wasn't hard to "make the tool look bad." It's still not too hard to make the tools look bad today if you try, but it is much easier for me to make them look good.
I, too, would be more sour mood if I hated the tools and still had to be demonstrating to management "how we're going to leverage AI for software development" - which is on our goals this year.
