I do not know much French but that seems to translate literally into the common English phrase "belt and braces"


Did not know belt and braces was a saying in English! I learned something today.


Everything I've vibe coded is utlitarian, sparse, barebones, and the code itself is fewer bytes than the documentation.


You can do this if you hold its hand a lot. Claude by default will do insane levels of abstraction for small things. Also make Python docstrings 3x longer than the actual code.
