For Claude? I just don’t have that experience. I talk to the stupid AI for a bit, get nothing helpful, and more or less half a day later some human jumps in to tell me that I’ve already tried everything possible. But it’s a human? Support seems responsive, just not very helpful.

If this is like Claude Code for everyone else, shouldn’t it be snapshotting anything it changes so that you can go back to the previous state?

This isn’t very nice to anyone asking Claude to please read the HN conversation for this topic…

Maybe if your coding style is already close to what an LLM like Claude outputs, you’ll never have these issues? At least it generally seems to be doing what I would do myself.

Most of the architectural failures come from it still not having the whole codebase in mind when changing stuff.


I actually think it's less about code style and more about the disjointed way end outcomes seem to be the culmination of a lot of prompt attempts over the course of a project/implementation.

The funny thing is reviewing stuff claude has made isn't actually unfamiliar to me in the slightest. It's something I'm intimately familiar with and have been intimately familiar with for many years, long before this AI stuff blew up...

..it's what code I've reviewed/maintained/rejected looks like when a consulting company was brought on board to build something. Such a company that leverages probably underpaid and overworked laborers both overseas and US based workers on visas. The delivered documentation/code is noisy+disjointed.

Yeah, which is what you get if your memory consists of everything you’ve read in the past 20 minutes. Most of my Claude work involves pointing it at the right things.


I mean, I don’t hate it, but it seems like a clear step back.

Not the whole population. Only those using cloudflare to protect their websites?

I’m sure they’d give you several month to migrate off (and make noise to your government).

I can honestly see why you’d want to stop giving stuff for free to people taking your money.


Thanks. I was looking for that at the top, but had to scroll down all the way here to find it.

I mean, there is a certain level of incompetence at which that becomes the only reasonable response?

In a sensible world. This would both destroy the company and get the owners jailed.
