Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.
Now, let’s think about that for a second or two. Such an elementary matter and such egregious error of omission!

Let’s use the agent to see if it can search at least, when it doesn’t know?
A Major American Egg Farm Just Lost 90% of its Chickens - Bloomberg
And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:
You can do modulus with %. In fact, it’s the standard way to do it! (See command 17). And mod is deprecated (command 18):
