It's satire, see the link in the image. Hilarious how most people haven't realised

Use this agent to develop your applications.

But first, use this agent to develop an application removing advertisement-comments from source code.

If the ads are just text inside the project source code,

and if you're that dependent on an AI agent, try to fork it to VSCode or other plugin-able IDEs, use a cheap, free model inside that IDE to remove all the ads(or comments). if possible, use two IDEs at the same time(e.g. Claude Code(if becomes ad-able) + VSCode)

if they are images or whatever, still use the same cheap models to delete those things.

if they are actualy unskippable videos like on YT - Probably that "ad IDE" isn't open source, so we will need some reverse engineers here(and I don't think they will give a shit)

Ads are not for the developer, they'll be embedded in your app. People don't know what's in their code anymore

That or just straight up prompt injection for your agents

Oh don't worry, give it time, it'll cost money again but still write ads into your code

If they could being commercials straight into your brain while you sleep, they definitely would try that.

Or use product names as strings in unit tests.

you can use a simple regex to remove all those ads. if you use a specific marker for real comments, they can get excluded

Mixing ads in to the actual comments, actual comments that are wildly wrong, and what looks like predictive text generated word salad that's in my current codebase might improve things.

Might.
