alt Hacker Newsthat is not my experience at all; I never write the way Claude does or use its vocabulary.
I also find myself regularly editing its code comments, which do not match my expectations of succinct, clear, not over explained, etc. I ask it to read my edited comments to improve its writing, which has helped _somewhat_. (The code itself that it writes is decent, though it still overcomplicates things. I find myself writing "keep it simple" repeatedly even though of course I have it in AGENTS (which it regularly ignores, such as attempting to commit something when I've told it never to commit).
The only solution I’ve found that works is asking Mistral medium to rewrite all of Claude’s documentation and comments, then I review and rewrite the final draft for anything mistral misunderstood.
I find Claude has become very difficult to work with and incapable of writing clear documentation, even when directly prompted or provided samples.
As for code, I think each function requires 3-4 passes with Fable to actually get to a point I accept as good code. I am picky though.
The other Claudism that drives me crazy is when it writes comments and commit messages that track how you arrived at an decision instead of what it is.
