If you're running Claude on an employer-paid account, expect it to prioritize the employer's goals. That may even be in the employer controlled part of the prompt. "What actual work would you like me to focus on next?" Now get back to work. Go re-read Marshall Brain's "Manna" and get over it.
I found you have to start entirely new sessions once you reach a “flagged” hardcoded response like this. You cant escape it once it is poisoned
This is almost certainly the issue. It's very unintuitive for users, but LLMs behave much better when you clear the context often. I run /clear every third message or so with Claude Code to avoid context rot. Anthropic describes this a bit with their best practices guide [0].

I don't know what it is, but trying to coax my goddamn tooling into doing what I want is not why I got into this field.

How does Claude know that it wasn't the employer who asked for that feature?
Is this real? This is absolutely nuts if true.
They occasionally do stupid things like this, the other day I asked Codex to make some changes to a few files and it refused because it was too much work.
I asked Claude this: "Make a python game program in which emojis are used for as many code elements as possible and favors unicorns and rainbows." And it made said code primarily from emojis.
Good reason to use Cursor, you can insta-switch to whatever model you want and even run diverse models from different providers at the same time. If one of em isn’t working then you can try something else instead of being stuck on one model provider
I surely can't be the only contrarian who is fatigued by hearing about Cursor and its bennies, right?

Can we agree that this is no longer programming? I don't know what it is, but trying to coax my goddamn tooling into doing what I want is not why I got into this field.
Uhm – isn't "coax my goddamn tooling into doing what I want" basically all we did pre-LLMs anyway?
