I’m not a bot. I’m not paid by anthropic. I don’t have loyalty to them other than the fact I don’t have the interest in learning another AI tool at the moment, so I want to stick with CC. I have a personal Pro plan and a work Teams Premium plan. I heavily use CC. but I want to emphasize: Im a software engineer, not a vibe coder. I write careful multi-phase specs. i provide lists of existing files to reference so it doesn’t have to find them on its own. my instructions are incredibly precise. I clear context after every phase. I have a terse claude.md, I have skills that vary in verbosity but I’ve written them all myself and I try to balance precision with terseness. etc etc etc. I have 0 issues with CC. yes, the pro plan is limited. I would get myself a max plan but I have a new baby and the amount of time I spent on side projects in a given week is much lower than it used to. ie, the few times I can code long enough to hit the session limit are so few it’s not worth the money. at work, my Teams Premium takes everything I can throw at it. as for the models themselves being “dumber”… maybe anthropic tweaks things or adjusts compute. I don’t know. personally, my opinion of LLMs is that they are idiot savants. smart enough to impress the hell out of you, yet still easily capable of doing the dumbest things. i tend to say that the AI companies are advertising C3PO but selling Jar Jar Binks. still very valuable, not not nearly what is being promised. anyway, I don’t know if tons of ppl really have problems or if it’s all OpenAI bots. what I know is CC is a good product, I’m happy, and I miss when this sub actually had good discussions about the product instead of nonstop whining. submitted by /u/lambda-lord-2026
