I came across this GitHub “Quantitative analysis of 17,871 thinking blocks and 234,760 tool calls across 6,852 Claude Code session files” that has some pretty well structured and damning evidence for the degradation we’ve all been feeling. https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/42796 What’s worse is Boris Cherny acknowledged the issue is real. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47660925 But his “solution” is we use effort max and realistically just pay more. While not addressing any of the actual issues like instability that are driving us away. The point by point way his arguments are taken apart is brutal to say the least. But we at least know it’s confirmed and not something we are imagining. I want to have access to different tools for different purposes, which has helped shield me a little. I have a strong preference for using Claude though. But I genuinely am at a complete loss as to how to keep using Claude and have it not actively cost me both time and money that isn’t warranted. It’s fighting me lately because it’s been lobotomized and apparently is by design. I know other people have noticed the degradation too. I genuinely am at a loss as to how to currently navigate this, I can’t just sit on the sidelines and wait for a reliable tool, and this makes it clear they did hurt its capabilities so unreliability is the new norm. submitted by /u/RTDForges
