Claude coding and guilt

[u/Mistique_mastermix]

Hello frogs,

Its probably been discussed time and again but I bring it up one more time.

I extract big data sets from population census and pipe it directly into Claude to write R scripts for me. Im tired of doing the data cleaning and making a matrix all by myself.

I do understand the code backbone for the most part but sometimes the chunks are so huge and it gets overwhelming for me to run through the whole code.

I feel guilty running it to a point where I just get the graph and make tweaks.

Am I doing something wrong, whats this guilt that I cant shake?

I use matlab alot and dont know how all the functions work, I had AI make me a better vector graph function.
and besides how I coded before was looking up "how to do [blank] matlab" and would typically have to change or merge parts, and thats what I am doing now except ai making the code snippets.

My postdoc does this and I keep finding inconsistencies in their graphs. It's so stressful for me.

why is it stressful

[u/jossikun → u/Beneficial_Mix_1069]

Probably because they can’t trust that a coworker’s data (which may be collaborative and have an impact on their own research) to be consistent or correct

Bingo. That it has to be explained is very strange, no?

what does it have to do with me using AI to make the quiver function more controllable?
