Claude Code Performance Variances
Users are reporting inconsistent performance and varying success with Claude Code, with some finding it useful for tasks like recreating software from screenshots, while others express frustration with its recent decline in quality.
So I decided to just give Claude Code a screenshot of a feature from an old '90s program and tell it to give me that, without describing it. The results... were not great.
I can't, Claude Code (@AnthropicAI ), is worse every day But hey, it's not a simple terminal app; it's a Gaming Engine, according to them...
Yep. One guy changed the billing model of his app, that I bought 10yrs ago to a subscription model. I was able to feed screenshots to Claude Code and had the very same working app for basically free. That business model is dying as well. Good for him showing me what's possible.
