my firm (stuffy fintech) is rolling out claude code across the whole eng org rn and im the one auditing it. tbh the biggest issue isnt even the code quality… its the adhd impulsiveness of these agents like u give it a task and it just immediately starts mutating files left and right. locally it looks fine but globally it completely wrecks the architecture. ive realized u absolutely HAVE to force the agent to write out a plan before it touches a single line of code but managing this is so exhausting?? if i make it write a PLAN.md file the agent gets lazy and just stops updating it after like 2 turns. if i just ask it to plan in the chat it literally forgets the plan 15 prompts later bc of context bloat and just starts hallucinating im tempted to mandate that our devs enforce a strict “explain before execute” rule for every single turn the ai takes. but im worried its gonna cause massive friction and completely ruin the vibe coding flow state that everyone is so hyped about. do any of u actually force your agents to plan every single step? what workflow actually sticks for u guys… external md files or just endlessly arguing with it in the chat til it gets it right? submitted by /u/Substantial_Guide_34
