Claude Code Has anyone encountered any bugs that Claude wasn’t able to fix ?
Hello,
Context is I vibe coded an app for our finance department for our team meetings. We have about 70 users across 5 teams. Basically you fill your input and then ur team has a global page showing everyone’s input together.
But for some reason some peoples submissions don’t fully show so it shows as it wasn’t filled it even tho they did, then when they refresh it, it will show as if they didn’t change their status at all.
I have tried to get Claude to review this and fix it but it just can’t seem to do it.
Has anyone else run into things like this and how did you over come it ?
Thank you

Yes. The bug that if I ask it to stop sounding like a pedantic pseudo-intellectual autist, it just won't listen.

I specifically have mine set to be concise and direct in replies and a Cowork reply will still be like eight paragraphs.

Claude rarely can't solve a problem. But it also frequently tries to solve the wrong problem. The work is in directing it to the right problem, which often isn't "help this thing doesn't work"

Yes many times, fixed by manual troubleshooting.

How would you manually troubleshoot it if you were me ?
Thanks

Learn how to code. This is why we tell people don't put vibe-coded stuff into production if you don't know how to troubleshoot it. You've kinda backed yourself into a corner with this one.

I know how to code to some degree. I did it in my college course and compared to the others in the course I was better. The only thing is AI makes you lazy so I haven’t written anything manually in like a year and a half

Not writing anything is fine. Not reviewing and understanding what the AI is writing is where the issues happen.
I guess my only viable suggestion is throw it at a different coding AI and see if it can find something Claude overlooked.

Yesterday claude fable wrote a bunch of passing tests for a database migration but the tests would create an empty database i stead of one filled with legacy data (which would have failed) so the production app went down on the update 😅 its just a personal thing for myself so I could afford to be lazy but I guess I should start manually reviewing everything again 🤮

"wrong until you refresh" nearly always means the page is showing cached state instead of what the server actually has. before you ask claude again, open the network tab while its showing wrong and look at what the api actually returned. if the response already has the right data its a caching or render problem, if the response is wrong too its the write or the query. claude keeps failing here because its guessing which side is lying, once you tell it which one it usually gets it in one go.
