In my experience memory system is more annoying then helpful. It always brings up things that it memorized even tho they make very little sense as if I should be impressed that it knows some extra thing or two.

Could not take it any longer and switched it off.

Currently considering disabling memories in Claude code as well. It keeps writing a note whenever it struggles with something, but then on the next task, it reads that note and misunderstands when it applies, gets confused about its current task and write the most unreadable code.

Yesterday told it to write a memory to never write new memories when it solves a problem. We will see if that works better. Sometimes memories are useful, like when I give it a directive about how I want something done and it remembers the spirit of it. But I might as well just spend some more time on my CLAUDE.md…

Exactly, because I've also found that I have to give instructions like “This is a completely different case—don't look in memory.”
