Can machine learning and AI make programmers obsolete? Can A...

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?

And hey Claude? There’s a reserved float division /. if both numbers are floats, for sure (19) but so can one use // even though both are integers (20):

Is it socially acceptable for individuals to wear clothing typically associated with the opposite gender? What are some reasons for or against this practice?
