I listened to the type of advice you're giving here on more occasions than I can remember, at least once for every major revision of every major LLM and always walked away frustrated because it hindered me more than it helped. > This is actually amazing now, just use [insert ChatGPT, GPT-4, 4.5, 5, o1, o3, Deepseek, Claude 3.5, 3.9, Gemini 1, 1.5, 2, ...] it's completely different from Model(n-1) you've tried. I'm not some mythical 140 IQ 10x developer and my work isn't exceptional so this shouldn't happen. | | |
| ▲ | ramesh31 4 days ago | parent [-] | | The dark secret no one from the big providers wants to admit is that Claude is the only viable coding model. Everything else descends into a mess of verbose spaghetti full of hallucinations pretty quickly. Claude is head and shoulders above the rest and it isn't even remotely close, regardless of what any benchmark says. | | |

That poster isn't comparing models, he's comparing Claude Code to Cline (two agentic coding tools), both using Claude Sonnet 4. I was pretty much in the same boat all year as well; using Cline heavily at work ($1k+/month token spend) and I was sold on it over Claude Code, although I've just recently made the switch, as Claude Code has a VSCode extension now. Whichever agentic tooling you use (Cline, CC, Cursor, Aider, etc.) is still a matter of debate, but the underlying model (Sonnet/Opus) seems to be unanimously agreed on as being in a league of its own, and has been since 3.5 released last year. |

| ▲ | delta_p_delta_x 4 days ago | parent | prev [-] | | I've been working on macOS and Windows drivers. Can't help but disagree. Because of the absolute dearth of high-quality open-source driver code and the huge proliferation of absolutely bottom-barrel general-purpose C and C++, the result is... Not good. On the other hand, I asked Claude to convert an existing, short-ish Bash script to idiomatic PowerShell with proper cmdlet-style argument parsing, and it returned a decent result that I barely had to modify or iterate on. I was quite impressed. Garbage in, garbage out. I'm not altogether dismissive of AI and LLMs but it is really necessary to know where and what their limits are. | | |
