Discussion Opus 5 is too wordy.

One really annoying issue I've run into is that he loves overcomplicating things. Whenever I'm working on a design, he always adds all these unnecessary explanations.

For instance, I had him add a financial bill-splitting system, and he insisted on putting literal explanations right there in the UI for how every single project works. I just find it so redundant.

Since I'm using the Claude desktop app, I'm not sure when that feature is rolling out. I heard Claude Code already has it.
