I've been making a macos app with opus 4.8-5 and at first it was great, everything materialized in a week, but when I started tuning stuff and fixing performance problems I have spent a very frustrating month refactoring code where I had to constantly catch llm red-handed and explain and sometimes push obvious ways how to make things work properly (a general knowledge from a completely different stack). In the process CLAUDE.md and memory grew exponentially explaining what it should and what it should never do.
- pazimzadeh 22d agowere you letting it run for hours like the OP, or doing short tasks and reviewing/testing each one? every once in a while I also ask it to consolidate/summarize docs and stuff like that. we'll see what happens in a week though
- aytigra 21d agoI have started with generating very detailed "feature" spec and going over it many times until it looked good to me. Then I made it write an "architecture doc" and plan how to implement all which was about 15 parts. Then I was making it implement one part and then tested it and made it fix 20 things and then again, and consolidate docs too, so after each part it looked and worked well enough.
