> It said code generate with Claude, is it really still this bad?

Anecdata, datapoint of 1 personal experience: I had been using Opus 4.6 with no problems until yesterday, then it seemed like it was missing things constantly, introducing random bugs, forgetting basic stuff that was in its memory and skills and should never miss

Same thing happened on 2 separate sessions I had with Opus 4.6

Ended up switching to 5.5 and Fable, things improved instantly

This left me with a weird taste

Out of curiosity, was this on a codebase where other folks started using Opus 5.5? I’ve been curious if each generation of model has its own biases that make it generate output that’s more difficult for other models/previous models to work with. That’s been my personal suspicion when I’ve hit situations like yours
