Yesterday was supposed to be an important day to close some dev projects. It turned out to be a real nightmare instead. I work with VSCode, CC 2.1.61 via extension. Claude Max Opus/Sonnet 4.6. I started working early in the morning having up and down availability issues, ranging from thread blocking with “prompt too long” stupid messages to catastrophic crashes where, in one case, I even lost one big session’s data (simply vanished…). But the worst was yet to come. During the afternoon, Claude started becoming really dumb — not only making it impossible to develop, but even to run some test plans. I ended up my work day at 3 o’clock in the morning having done not even half of the job, with huge frustration and fatigue. I fully understand that every system made by human beings can fail. But frankly speaking, sometimes I struggle to understand whether Claude is a work tool or more of a toy. Just to be clear I’m not talking about “potential” that’s there I know! I’m talking about real life in this very moment! I need to figure out so that I can better plan my work. I’ll stop the rant here :-( submitted by /u/fcampanini74
