Maybe there were some typos in the code too that caused this snafu.
People who code still make mistakes. There's got to be an override of some sort
(I think this is my personal record wrt the relative number of errors in a short code snippet. You get the idea, and Iām frankly afraid to try and post a fixed version at this point :) )
Wouldn't Lint have caught the error too?
Why do you assume it isn't a programming error?
If the code/text is wrong since that too is AI slop, why is this not flagged yet? We were better at this once.
It's a person misreading syntax :-/
I think you're suggesting that there's an error in the snippet you've quoted? I don't immediately see it. Can you point it out?
This is the kind of situation where feeding your code through an LLM can actually be helpful: they're really good at spotting the kind of errors/typos like this that have a profound impact but which our eyes tend to all to easily scan over/past.
Woops. Sounds like an big mistake. Fuzzing or even protest would have caught that.
