Yet when I try it, it feels like a developer fresh out of a coding bootcamp with no real experience. There’s no real reasoning, problem solving is still brute forced. It still rewrites rather than modifies. The context is way too limiting and it gets lost in its own “thinking”

The problem solving is very very not brute force. I have seen it make detailed analysis. Often if a problem stumps me it also stumps Claude, no surprise there. But if I give it a ticket I haven't looked at yet, it is often able to find the exact problem via careful 'reasoning' and fix it in 1/100th the time it would take me.
Except I’ve coached a lot of those people and there’s usually a method to their madness. You can sit down, help them back up to where they went off the rails, and it all makes sense.

Robot code is bonkers.
