The heavy users of Claude at my job disagree (me included), our work gets shipped and the quality has increased by all metrics. Are you talking about enterprise or consumer Claude subscriptions? I think they're serving drastic different quality depending on how much $ you fork up.
I don't see much sense to have hn as support thread, but here are quotes from my single claude investigation session, and that happens in every claude code session that I have, especially with 4.7
* The first agent's claim that was 3.x-only was wrong * is nice-to-have but doesn't target our exact case as cleanly as the agent claimed. * The agent's "direct fix for yyy" is overstated. * not 57% as the earlier agent claimed
etc etc etc
And I forgot how many times my session with claude starts: did you read my personal CLAUDE.md and use background agents for long running operations?
I use enterprise subscription, max effort, was with both 4.6 and 4.7.
And please refrain from comments like "you're using it wrong", as the drop in output quality is very clear and noticeable.
