There is no data that I would trust that contradicts it.
Frankly I don't give a damn about data that could be made up on the spot or appears to be scientific or meaningful while it's not at all clear how it was made (up).
Claude was heavily lobotomised for my work starting somewhen in February.
I talked to friends and people I know and trust and many felt the same. (I didn't ask them whether they felt like I did, but what they felt, how happy they were with agentic coding etc.)
I quit my abo in March and talked to said friends who are still on a plan just last week: they are still not happy, but company pays so whatever...
That’s ok but at what point is this getting into conspiracy territory? You have just said there is nothing you would believe to the contrary, but then by definition that’s not exactly a very thoughtful or insightful position.
I never said that I am not willing to believe the contrary.
I am not willing to believe the contrary from strangers on the interwebs or PR departments of companies who want to sell me something.
If people I genuinely trust tell me about their experiences, I am willing to try again.
But yes, if it doesn't work for me (for whatever reason, could be that I am holding it wrong), then I can accept that it works for everyone but me and still not use it.
Also "scientific" doesn't mean what it used to mean. When the n is small or it's just anecdotes (I am aware of the irony) blown out of proportion I really can't take the data and conclusions seriously
