Ask HN: Has Claude Code quality level degraded lately?

2•narmiouh•1h ago
Last week or so, I have been noticing Claude Code has been significantly challenged in keeping its stuff together. On a Max plan, using Opus 4.6 with thinking in Chat window (I use code as well, but this is just an example), asked it to create a web page that spits out a few different layouts/designs and its a single page web page, asked it to add ai to generate new designs.

It kept messing up aspect ratio, and forgets to add the AI feature, I know what you are thinking, may be the prompts are off... but its like 'oh I forgot to add the AI feature, let me add it' and then no 'AI Feature' in its output.

Driving me nuts, figured I would ask here to see if its just me or more people are seeing noticeable degradation of their experience recently...

I've noticed this too.

Over the last 6 months I've been creating some truly mindblowing apps, apps that feel like they are entirely out of reach for today's Claude.

I've also noticed that if I do some assisted coding at 4-5am UK time, and then perform the same actions at 3-8pm UK time the results are vastly different:

- It takes much much longer to consider my input and work out a response

- Any response given has to be thoroughly considered (I've had to rollback changes)

- Changes scoped in the plan are stubbed or missing entirely

I've put it down to two things (a) Early enshitification, perhaps they simply don't feel the need to provide a consistent level of service because any observation of performance is highly subjective and (b) oversubscription, they scored massive marketing points by being blacklisted by US DoD (despite being integrated into many systems in a different capacity)
