All my stress these days comes from Claude Code not following instructions, and it’s gotten worse as my codebase has grown. Don’t get me wrong, Claude is awesome and I love it. But there’s no way I’d hire Claude Code alone to maintain or add features to my codebase. They keep adding memory entries about past mistakes, but the same issue of ignoring important instructions still happens about 90% of the time. The only way to avoid it is to babysit every job and review the hell out of the output. Claude Code is great at documentation and helping you understand a large codebase, but not at making changes that require understanding the whole thing. Example: I have a registry pattern used for different entities across the codebase — around 10 of them. Claude Code went and implemented 4 separate, independent registries for those entities, even with an explicit rule saying “use this one registry pattern.” It took half a day of shouting at Claude Code to get this simple task right, and I ended up editing it myself to save the stress and time.
