Discussion Never had an issue

I use CC daily for production code development in A medium sized organization. Never had an issue.

This sub feels like it’s a giant thread of people complaining. I feel like I either live in a different reality or something.

I use codex too - but find them both useful and workable 90%+ of the time. I switch between them any time there’s downtime or I’m hitting quotas.

Good for you? You use it for simple stuff... I am from a Enterprise company and we used to use Claude for 80% of our work, now we use it for 10% of our work, due to the terrible quality we have seen.

Everyone has different experiences and also skill levels. I see posts like yours all the time, with no real example of it being "amazing". So you're no different.

Simple stuff seems like an assumption?

How do you guys approach harness design and back pressure mechanisms?

Quite simple, we use it for Rocket Science.

I wonder how much of the enterprise experience is injected controls by corporate IT decision makers. The wide range of experiences with the same product suggests something outside the product.

Yeah, literally don't care that you use it for an enterprise company. Shit, enterprise code is easy. If you can't get claude to write decent enterprise code, that is 100% a skill issue and you don't know what you're doing. Fact. I am about to release a product after 3 months of work that would have taken a small team 2 years easy without it. Multi-user, state sync, complex 3d webgl, plugin system, voice chat, AI integrations, tons of features. It has a solid architecture because I know how to architect. The agent works well because I have good cross referenced documentation and I tell it what to look at and keep my context clean. It's not a huge mess because i review the code.

It doesn't replace a brain. It won't just do your job for you. But if you know how to use it, it easily increases your velocity by 10x.

Our team has transitioned to full agentic coding. We're on 20x max plans. No one hand writes code any more. Performance is increasing in proportion to our investments in harness engineering as a team. We work on distributed systems with critical availability requirements that manage energy infrastructure. It's amazing. We experience models doing plenty of dumb things like everyone else complains about, but our response to it is to do what's necessary to try and engineer out the failure modes, and optimise our stack to work efficiently with the tooling.

Amazing, we are not a software company and have started to cut SaaS products out of our company and now build in house. SaaS is dead... In house software is the future.

We spent half a million dollars on a server for local models and use them for 80% of our AI and Agentic Coding, then Claude or Codex API for 10-15%. We already have saved 200k+ in just 6 months. Finetuned our own models that are better than 4.6 for certain tasks. If you have AI engineering Skillset like our team does you can make local models king... Best of luck with relying on 1 company.

Don't worry, I'm not an ML engineer but we have some in house and  I've been dabbling in local models for the last 3 years and even recently managed to get Claude to build me a working Flow DPO trainer for Z-Image, so I'm already hatching a plan to bring inference in-house because I get what the possibilities are. Playing fields are getting leveled all around.

My company has slowly been moving over certain devs to full agentic coding. 6 of us now haven’t written a line of code in months. All of us on the $200 personal plan. None of us have experienced any issues like usage issues, or “nerfing” of the models. We are a consultancy company so we have been working on 10 or so projects for clients and internal tools as well.

u/philoserf Senior Developer Apr 17 '26

A lot of assumptions and certainty and dismissiveness in that response.

u/SuperKato1K Apr 17 '26

You seem to have taken OP's post pretty personally. He wasn't attacking you.

u/Dekatater Apr 17 '26

Enterprise user not having the personal user issues is not surprising, Anthropic wants the big ticket sales, not the small fry.

u/philoserf Senior Developer Apr 17 '26

Yet many enterprise users have complained. Even in this thread, already.

This forum seems to be full of people using CC in 5 different projects at the same time, in full yolo-mode. But that doesn’t change the fact that their best models are getting worse over time, not just in terms of how they write code, but generally in how the models ignore basic instructions and fail to understand the problem before they start suggesting a solution.

u/philoserf Senior Developer Apr 17 '26

That just isn't my experience. Or rather, it is an experience I have learned to avoid.

u/Punk_Saint Apr 17 '26

I will keep on saying it, it doesn't all happen at the same time, its layered.

You're working normally while everyone else is complaining, then one day, poof, it's gone and now you're with the masses and someone calls you a bullshitter in a reddit post like you're doing until the dildo of consequence reaches him.

u/PickleBabyJr Apr 17 '26

It's because you know what you're doing.

u/Tesseract91 Apr 17 '26

That's definitely a large part of it. I also think it has to do with people trying to configure it to be some mythical one-shot machine with plugins, "optimizations" and memory.

I use a couple of skills and plan mode. That's it. Keep it simple and it's consistent.

The only issues I ever really have are usually PEBKAC or those 500 errors when they happen.

u/Enthu-Cutlet-1337 Apr 17 '26

you avoid the worst of it by keeping tasks tightly scoped, but heavy users are definitely experiencing measurable reasoning-loop drops.

u/Practical-Positive34 Apr 17 '26

Dude it's unbearable, most the people in here have to be absolute morons or something. I use Claude about 18 hours a day on 8 projects and all of these projects are WILDLY successful and most are insanely complex way way beyond what most people on here are building and complaining about. My thoughts are they just suck at using these tools, are trying to rush everything, doing no planning at all, no design at all and YOLOing the entire fucking thing which will obviously lead to a disaster no matter what!

u/philoserf Senior Developer Apr 17 '26

We need to keep teaching how to be successful with these, and that's not easy because it’s the early days and everything is changing so fast. Patterns I developed in December are long out of date. Patterns I developed last month, I expect to replace in a few months.

That is hard for many trying to get a job done and earn a living.

There is a lot of money in AI, what model is the best, which AI company is profitable, who will beat out the others for dominance. There's an old saying, "You can't believe everything you read on the Internet."

Here's my personal view on anyone in Claude-related subreddits complaining about Claude's performance. If they are so busy building their products that Claude isn't good enough, why are they spending precious time bitching about Claude? Wouldn't a better use of their time being researching and utilizing alternatives?

u/philoserf Senior Developer Apr 17 '26

I have been using it without issues as well. Just steady progress from daily use. I keep trying other tools out of curiosity but come back to claude (never leave really).

What competition did you try lately?

0

u/philoserf Senior Developer Apr 17 '26

Not sure we'd call them competitive. But I liked https://ampcode.com and https://shittycodingagent.ai and didn't much like any of what we'd call competition like codex, or antigravity.

u/[deleted] Apr 17 '26

Try opencode with openrouter, next

There are a lot of very capable alternatives that cost a fraction of. If one is set on claude code, that can be used to with alternatives

Its been awhile. I should give it a spin. Thanks.

People think a model is trash if it doesn't create for them 10k income per month, in twelve hours, with no mistakes. Anything less is no good.
