I think LLMs are great for generating the structure of your code. The only issue is that these models are amazing when you are navigating in very well documented, talked about, etc. subjects, and start to go off the rail when you are using somewhat esoteric things. The speed boost I get by generating Terraform and HTML, CSS, JS with Deepseek and Grok (sometimes asking one to review the others code) is pretty significant. My biggest disappointment is Claude. I have purchased a subscription from them but I need to cancel it. The usual ouput from 3.7 is horrenndous. I am not even sure why. The same prompt works very well with Deepseek and fails miserably with Claude.
paid for a year of claude all at once and deeply regret it the last month or so. seems like it just tries to do so much extra lately. feel like half of my prompts lately are just reiterating that i dont want it to try to do more than i ask...
if i dont do that it always seems to throw out 3 fresh files ill need to add to make their crazy implementation work.
ive pretty much swapped to using it just for asking for minor syntax stuff i forget. ill take my slower progress in favor of fully grasping everything ive made.
i have one utility that was largely helped by claude in my current project. it drives me nuts, it works but im so terrified of it and its so daunting to change now.
You're right and I will still use it, but only for more limited scopes. I've also cancelled my Claude subscription recently, but for different reasons - it doesn't have the "memory" feature that makes ChatGPT so much more worth it at the moment.
