alt Hacker NewsI have encountered the exact same kind of frustration, and no amount of prompting seems to prevent it from "randomly" happening.
`the error is on line #145 fix it with XYZ and add a check that no string should ever be blank`
It's the randomness that is frustrating, and that the fix would be quicker to manually input that drives me crazy. I fear that all the "rules" I add to claude.md is wasting my available tokens it won't have enough room to process my request.
Yup, this is why i firmly believe true productivity, as in, it aiding you to make you faster, is limited by the speed of review.
I think Claude makes me faster, but the struggle is always centered around retaining own context and reviewing code fully. Reviewing code fully to make sure it’s correct and the way I want it, retaining my own context to speed up reviews and not get lost.
I firmly believe people who are seeing massive gains are simply ignoring x% lines of code. There’s an argument to be made for that being acceptable, but it’s a risk analysis problem currently. Not one I subscribe to.
