Planet Haskell

A developer shares their disappointing experience using Claude Code (an AI coding assistant) to debug a GHCJS build failure in Nix. Despite spending an hour and $17/month on the Pro plan, Claude produced brittle, non-reproducible solutions that hardcoded Nix store paths and copy-pasted build phases—practices that violate Nix idioms and would break on upgrades. The author contrasts this with their own debugging approach, which identified the root cause as a known macOS-specific issue with duplicate LC_RPATH entries. They conclude that while AI coding tools show promise, they currently generate solutions that appear correct superficially but fail under scrutiny, making them unsuitable for maintainable software engineering.
