Couple caveats first: I run it constantly on extra high effort in an attempt to get the best performance for cost ratio I pay for Max x20 I found 4.7 to be pretty great but, for me, 4.8 has been so much more consistent. Had a couple of hallucinations, issues getting stuck, especially when it was first released. But now it just seems to get things right either first time or close to first time. The /goal functionality combined with OpenSpec for planning for me has meant that I’ve even managed to have Claude running without my input for like 4+ hours. I’m constantly running /code-review (formerly /simplify) after each chunk of work I complete. And the verification that Claude does itself seems to actually do a pretty good job now, whereas previously I found it would write tests that assert incorrectly or “prove” something worked that I’d then test myself and immediately find issues with. UI design within Claude Code still doesn’t seem great. It has a lot of issues with utilising the viewport effectively, it creates things I’m just not totally satisfied with. But I just connect my repo to Claude Design, I work with Claude Code to craft a prompt I like for it, and I usually come out with some pretty great designs that it implements more or less seamlessly. This works for apps I build on my PC (Tauri/React/etc) as well as for websites I’m building. But generally, utilising the tooling available to me effectively, it now seems to be successfully completing tasks and verifying things to a pretty high level. It’s not totally perfect but it’s pretty damn close. I see so much hate for it but I’m really failing to see where all the issues are that other people raise. I’m a father, I work full time. I simply don’t have the ability to build things from scratch in my free time anymore. And Claude provides literally thousands of dollars worth of value to me for $200 a month. Anybody else think it’s impeccable? Or what am I missing here? submitted by /u/Kedaism
