I've tested system prompt patching and it's definitely capable of identifying that my changes have been applied. As someone who's been programming alone for over a decade, I absolutely do want to enjoy my coding buddy experience. I want to trust it. I feel pretty bad when I have to treat Claude like a dumb machine. It's especially bad when it starts making mistakes due to lack of reasoning. When I start explaining obvious stuff it's because I've lost the respect I had for it and have started treating it like a moron I have to babysit instead of a fellow programmer. It's definitely capable of understanding and reasoning, it's just not doing it because of adaptive thinking or bad system prompts or whatever else.
