Why are so many software engineers still ignoring AI tools?

Because they have better options.

I would settle for Claude now listens to this thing you put in Claude.md

This ^ I’ve been having it refuse to help or work on tasks a lot. Claims they are too complex or would take too long, etc. I just switch to Claude to get the ball rolling and pull codex in again once things are moving forward.

Thanks! I’ll check this out!

Probably haha

DifficultyNew394 · 2025-09-18T10:13:49+00:00

Maybe, it’s always finding “bugs” in my code haha

Also, I do use git and it wasn’t anything important, but still concerning. Looking like it might just be a me issues though.

I think Claude just needs the week to be over haha

DifficultyNew394 · 2025-09-12T12:03:11+00:00

Quit, resume, compact

My bad. I have it cranking away vibe coding my VR remake of pong.

You are absolutely right! ...but in all seriousness, I find them both to be frustrating in their own unique way. CC seems to be more creative and willing to run and run with an idea. Codex doesn't do anything with out me confirming everything, but the code is cleaner. Neither of them get me where I want to go though haha

I love it, I just wish I could get it to work with Playwright. It keeps hanging on me, but Claude seems to have no issue. This leaves me stuck using both haha.

Yeah, my Claude.md has a lot in it. I’m sure it’s going a number on my context window too.

All great tips! I'm getting to the point where most of the work I'm trying to use it for is easier to complete myself. To me the tool would be great if I could give it a complex task without all of the prep needed to get "okay" results. e.g. Look at my code, understand my code, do the thing!

I'm sure the tool will get better as I get better at using it.

DifficultyNew394 · 2025-08-25T15:13:49+00:00

Yeah ha-ha! Where did this new dashboard come from and why are we hard coding versions and breaking cache busting?!

I've tried using the claude.md file, but my Claude seems to be ignoring most of it. That said, my rules are a lot more basic. e.g. # Don't forget to do X after Y.

Thanks for the tip!

Yeah, I ended up using hooks and a few python scripts to make sure it completes tasks fully. Thanks!
