I will refrain from writing this with Claude as that seems to be taboo here. Also, pls be easy on me. I’ve been vibe coding for 18 months but now am going significantly faster thanks to more free time, moving to Claude Code, and better models…but still learning lots as I go. I have a next.js app. I’ve done hundreds if not thousands of prompts now. As part of my work, I struggle with larger problems like design system drift or wanting to improve page performance. I find Claude Code to have strong technical step-by-step answers but when it comes to “forest through the trees” type questions, Claude Chat gives much better answers. Example… My page load are getting slower. I asked CC(ode) how to inventory page load times. It suggested Lighthouse and immediately jumped in to doing that. All the times came back really low. I pushed back and said no, one of my pages takes 30 seconds. CC says “that’s a SQL issue”. Me: “Great, how can we get those times logged?” It gave vague answers that were not helpful and kept suggesting manual,.one-off approaches. I went to Claude Chat and it immediately suggested Postgres logging tools and gave me a prompt to give the coding agent to set it up. This is an example where I get into this back and forth between Claude Chat and Claude Code, pasting prompts and responses from one to the other. Any suggestions on how to improve this? Or is this a common pattern? It seems inefficient. submitted by /u/telladifferentstory
