alt Hacker NewsThis "how to prompt" shit changes like every 3 months. Remember when earlier this year it was critical to tell Claude to keep going because it would just give up. It's amazing this is really considered a product - imagine having to relearn how to drive your car every 3 months.

Cars were just like that during their early years, with tillers and knobs. See the video where Top Gear finds the first car with controls we recognize https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkwGJzU5B-I
Did you know you can get certification from Anthropic? And it actually costs real money.
Opus models after 4.8 didn’t work well with my homegrown harness, so I just skipped them until 5.5 which seems like a pretty happy match.
Not sure how you missed that but models are fundamentally changing in features, scope, intelligence, pricing, communication style. Of course it changes every 3 months. Of course there is no product that lasts more than 3 months. We're in a race right now. It won't stop changing for a while.
You don't have to use a car.
You can stay on your horse. It's perfectly usable. Don't fall for the hype.
Yeah. It is not so much like a "coding assistant", but more like a temp agency sending you different autists every other month.
Edit: Someone commented that this is insulting to autists, and I guess it kind of is - sorry. What I ment was an intellectual; one that can be an absolute retard, but have read an aweful lot.
All this overhyped crap will explode and most of us will be poor but hey whatever. Some billionaires will be better off. That should make us all content
Remember how we were going to be "left behind" if we didn't "keep up"? I'm so glad I haven't wasted any time or effort learning how to kick each month's flavour of idiot assistant.
