I don't see the AI capacity jump in the recent months at all. For me it's more the opposite, CC works worse than a few months ago. Keeps forgetting the rules from CLAUDE.md, hallucinates function calls, generates tons of over-verbose plans, generates overengineered code. Where I find it a clear net-positive is pure frontend code (HTML + Tailwind), it's spaghetti but since it's just visualization, it's OK.

  Hmm, your comment gave me the idea that maybe we should invent "What You Describe Is What You Get|. To replace HTML+Tailwind spaghetti with prompts generating it.

Are you using Opus 4.5? Sounds more like Sonnet.

  Yes I'm using Sonnet 4.5. Thanks for the tip, will try Opus 4.5, although costs might become an issue.

Sad to hear this attitude towards front-end code. Front-ends are so often already miswritten and full of accessibility pitfalls and I feel like LLMs are gonna dramatically magnify this problem :(
