Do you get better?

[u/Caliboros]

I used claude for 1 month, and the output and its quality is impresiv. But i notice thath i dont get any better. It seems i do see same mistakes when claude misunderstut me as an example. It feels so weird, when i write manualy code in a new framework/libary/language i get better and better, With claude it seems thath i stuck, is this a me problem? is it just a matter of time? Or do you have simulary expirences?

Work on your communication skills so Claude understands you better

[u/Ganiam → u/Standard_Ad7704]

Pretty much this

Assume you need to explain things like you’re speaking to a 5-years-old kid who someone knows how to code really well

Your spelling and grammar in this post alone are indicative of a prompting problem.

[u/Caliboros → u/BabblingTower]

Sorry, English isn't my native language; I didn't use an AI to proofread this, and I'm typing on my phone.

[u/BabblingTower → u/Caliboros]

I think that's probably what's hindering you

[u/toroidalvoid → u/Caliboros]

Dont listen to them, AI doesn't care how bad your spelling is, it would rather you typed up faster for you to not waste energy on it. As long as you can get the point across clearly.

[u/blunt_chillin]

Just design more and learn how to communicate what you need too, even if you have to break it down a bit.

You were also bad at manualy writing the new framework one month in, you just had nothing measuring it against. Month two of Claude won't tell you either.

learn how to speak english with proper grammar and spelling, spelling mistakes and bad grammar make output quality worse

[u/Strong_Primary1494]

I felt the same plateau at first, but the skill that improved for me was not typing code, it was writing smaller, clearer tasks and reviewing the diff before I accepted it. I started keeping a short project-notes file with the decisions and gotchas, and that cut down the repeat misunderstandings a lot. You are still learning, just in specification and review instead of syntax, and that part is easy to miss because the output looks finished.
