And presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):
Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.
Let’s ask Claude Sonnet 3.5, which is quite the advanced model (at par with Deepseek V3 R1 and GPT 4o) a very simple question:
You can do modulus with %. In fact, it’s the standard way to do it! (See command 17). And mod is deprecated (command 18):
Now, let’s think about that for a second or two. Such an elementary matter and such egregious error of omission!
Why do Argentinians use "vos" instead of "tú" in informal speech?

As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.
And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:

Here’s the proof :
