Another personal anecdote, but I had the case where Claude would visibly improve after a negative feedback.

And strangely, expressing frustration multiple times in a row would reliably trigger a feedback popup as well.

When the source maps leaked for the harness, it was revealed that they track how often tool use is rejected and how many times you say "fuck". They definitely try to track frustration sentiment.

That said, given the propensity for mature code bases to have "fuck" in commit messages/comments and those are typically of higher quality, I curse up a storm when the clankers make mistakes, if only to try put more quality-code valence into context. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36584464

To be fair, I also do my best work when I get to swear like a sailor.

True, but tracking ≠ Claude using that feedback to improve performance right there and then

As a hiring manager I now have a rational reason to prefer people willing to use profanity. Thank you.
