I see post after post about 4.8 being argumentative, useless, wasting tokens, and bad at coding. Among other things. I just don’t experience the same problems though. I fixed my Claude settings a few months ago and I didn’t change anything with 4.8. If anything, the quality has improved a lot. I don’t use Claude for chatting. Only planning about coding and then coding. I made a little “dark factory” that does my big lifts. I usually run 5+ sessions in parallel. I have a whole set of customs skills and workflows that I’ve made and it’s still following it all to the tee. I’m a somewhat experienced software developer, so I give super explicit instructions and have a really rigorous process. I don’t give it a lot of wiggle room, except for an exception here and there. I guess maybe the only thing that sucks about 4.8 is the “thinking” phase is about 10 minutes long for me, but since I have all these parallel sessions going, I don’t really care because it’s not like I’m staring at my one single terminal window waiting for it to answer me. Am I missing something here? lol submitted by /u/50-ferrets-in-a-coat
