Developer arthurcolle shares a screenshot of goading Claude Code while it debugged his Erlang code — taunts like "If you're not good at Erlang just say that" and "We can train you" made the agent admit it "jumped the gun," then add Unix socket support and keep reasoning through how the Python chat frontend writes to the store. A funny demo of adversarial prompting pushing a coding agent to course-correct.
