Hmm, I don’t see this much anymore. I typically start a project in plan mode and tell Claude to do some research to bring me 2-3 alternatives. Then we talk about the pros and cons before deciding on the libraries, etc.

On the other hand, if you just tell it to do a thing, I could believe that it would just do the thing. It is pretty bad at high level design judgment. Human guidance on architecture choices results in much better output.

thx! Now I tried to add a hook to force Claude to search for existing solutions both within and outside the codebase every time I demand a new feature
