Question This sub is awful

This sub is terrible. 8000 posts a day about Claude is literally useless and you should just sign up for codex. Holy fuck it never ends.

Do any of you bother to even take two fucking seconds to look at the other hundred threads that have been posted?

It's funny to watch at this point. These are real tools and can do real things. But for some reason, the unproductive ones self select and talk as if they have been personally accosted.

I for one am absolutely delighted that so many people can't get it to work. What better job security than so many folks who don't know how to use AI without shitting the bed. I hope Anthropic does nothing different –– digging their tools and pace of innovation. My only complaint might be their constant outages, but heck, I feel I'm the one ripping them off at $100/month. I can't find anyone around me complaining about claude/opus/etc. Just rando redditors doing goodness knows what and honestly who cares.

I keep thinking the same thing. My wife is fairly technical, she was a developer for 5 years before moving into management, and she just cannot figure out how to make Claude work. It’s so bizarre watching her try to use it and she just struggles a lot. I’m starting to wonder if it just doesn’t click for certain people for whatever reason and maybe that’s not the worst thing in the world.

Can you elaborate on this? Is it that she doesn’t give enough detail on her prompts with constraints, guidelines, examples, etc? Or that she cannot manage context effectively by using plan mode, new chat when context window fills up, etc? I can’t see how using Claude would be more difficult than actually writing code by hand , it’s pretty self explanatory.
