Asked Claude why it stopped mid-task. It said "I lost my nerve, not my ability" 💀

bro literally admitted it saw 33 "line too long" warnings on code IT DIDN'T EVEN WRITE and got intimidated.

said "the wall of red errors made me hesitate" and then proposed we "split sessions" like it was asking for a smoke break.

then dropped "I lost my nerve, not my ability" like it's the protagonist of a war movie. king it's a LINTER. on someone else's code.

i have never felt more seen by an AI. this is exactly me at work:

open file
see red squiggles
close laptop
consider farming

we are the same. AGI achieved through shared anxiety.

what npm lifecycle script scared you fastest?

Ive been too casual about npm install scripts. `postinstall` runs when im barely watching the job, and if CI already has npm tokens or GitHub creds sitting in env, that code gets a shot before the app even starts

Mini Shai-Hulud and the GitHub Actions cache poisoning threads finally got me to set `ignore-scripts` by default, then allow scripts only when I can name the package and why it needs one. Annoying. Less annoying than learning the install step read a token at 2am, tho
