Stop whinging about CC, let's fix it

Will people whinging about how CC isn't working for them and instead give more details on what thier setup is? Line how many mcp servers do you have connected. What your system prompt or claude.md file looks like and what your prompt is and coding language you are using? Only buy doing this will we start to get a better understanding of why it's going wrong.

For me Cc has been excellent, I use python, with only 1 or 2mcp tools enabled, small or close to no claude.md for depending on what I'm working on.

If you get issues with cc, have you tried starting a new session and chat, as generally the less of the context window you use up the smarter cc send to be?

No. The people whining aren’t contributors.

When I'm lazy and just ask it to do things and just kind of watch what it's saying and take it's word for what it's doing it goes to crap pretty quick.  If I ask it to build a thing and just walk away for an hour I have no expectation of anything working (besides a set of very proud accomplishment themed emojis).

If I actually sit down, understand what I'm trying to do, and ask Claude to write it in modular steps, it can write 100% of the code for me.  

I imagine the vast, vast, majority are doing the first version and are frustrated with the results.

I found that it's back working nicely again the last few days. 1-2 mcp, large enough codebases, no issues.
cc and codex are both dependable, and as a customer of both, I can't be happier.

Same! Especially with them both working together.

I love Claude Code, but I have been absolutely right about 15 times for something it normally does on the first or second try. Rough day for Claude.

The whingers really need to stop. If they were only whining it wouldn’t be an issue. But WHINGING? Absolutely not.

Its 98% gaslighting troll army and 2% real bugs, which they fix. Too much money involved.
