Among the worst things that I have a hard time tolerating about Claude: - sycophancy, I'm honestly tired of "You're absolutely right". I need a pair programmer, something that's gonna correct me, provide different ideas, etc. - inability to follow the script. Even though it will tell you you're right, it will still do its thing. Doesn't matter if I spend 2 hours writing a detailed spec file, a todo list, etc, Claude'…

You forgot: "The code is now 100% production ready. All features implemented." It confidently says this without testing anything or running it. Placeholder code everywhere, features missing, overall the code ends up not compiling due to the dumbest errors imaginable.

> All features implemented.

Once I had it write a spec file for some work to implement, and the charlatan marked all the todos in the spec as done and said that!
