I have no problem with it. I’ve always found it amusing.

My favorite is Flibbitygibbeting…

I guess that’s why they have a setting for it.

But then again, I always used to think “if you name it CockroachDB, there’s no way in hell I’m recommending this to a non-tech client unless I’ve known them for years and they fully trust my judgement” and even then, I wouldn’t blame them for not taking it seriously.

So one man’s amusement is another man’s annoyance?

I like the whimsy. It helps lighten up my mood sometimes.

Unrelated, for me, Claude's most annoying feature is its existential urge to start implementing changes as soon as possible.

The first time I recall encountering this sort of feature was in one of the early sim city games. I wonder if this being a feature of Claude indicates the humanity of some engineer behind it, or if it is a deliberate effort to apply humanity to the agent.

I get a chuckle when I see "bloviating" pop up. It seems like the kind of thing the people at Anthropic shouldn't want associated with their model.

Reticulating Splines…

This was the first thing I googled when I started using Claude lol.

Claude code once said verb it was "Slithering" I then changed the verb.

Sensitive lad.

You can also turn off tips, but that's quite handy to learn when a new feature pops up

Is this a nitpick definition attempt?

but if you give It a clear isntruction the verb matches the action and that means you didnt make it think too much. when the verb IS weird the output has to be taken with more caution

I’ll take the Shenaniganing that he’s not having!

The verbs are one of my favorite things about Claude Code.
