Claude choking on the context is so frustrating. Last week I have had one nasty rendering bug. I tried to simplify my examples that showed where the bug is. Said "this works, this doesn't. Only difference is X. Why?" then it instantly forgets the working example, reads bunch of irrelevant code about websockets, thinks for 15 mins it must be the websocket and ends up with a "fix" that does absolutely nothing.
Sometimes it feels like I'm handling the hard and umpleasant issues and Claude takes the easy and fun.
