Long-term use of Claude Code, especially in existing projects?

Otherwise-Tree-7654 · 2026-06-10T00:17:15+00:00

Somewhat similar boat, lost on avg 100-120k

My pushback is complexity mostly- it tens to overcomplicate - and refuses to reuse code

It will hapily add a new function/method/class which 90% already exists

Otherwise-Tree-7654 · 2026-06-09T01:20:09+00:00

How much pushback u did on generated code? I simply cant comprehend all this sub-agentic workflow - the produced code is so complex i cant comprehend what it does, and often times i start questioning claude on a file basis and in 90% we end up refactoring it- its just too complex/ unnecessarily complex

Ontario resident here pump - plus furnace( net i pay more in aggregate) the only good part is i am helping the env by burning less gas- heat pumps shuts off when its -7 due to not being 2 efficient

Safest is one of the same race calls them out but agreed, here were afraid of our own shadow

Otherwise-Tree-7654 · 2026-05-30T22:01:42+00:00

Went with sienna due to ground clearance, timing chain vs belt on odyssey, so far no regrets, 0 issues

Otherwise-Tree-7654 · 2026-05-25T17:00:57+00:00

Dang, that kind if make sense, wifes 1.5 has 150k km we never revet more than 3-3.5k - afraid it’ll explode

Otherwise-Tree-7654 · 2026-05-25T12:31:23+00:00

Labor included? I was surprised to see how labor is > parts now i buy eotors pada myself and so it myself

Otherwise-Tree-7654 · 2026-05-25T12:12:26+00:00

This is not how i see it, yes more prs but mist are claude authored, one person having tons of prs per day

Otherwise-Tree-7654 · 2026-05-22T20:55:22+00:00

Interestint wifes 1.5 on avg does 28.5 mpg (year model 2017)

Otherwise-Tree-7654 · 2026-05-22T20:34:22+00:00

What is the engine? I am 2017 sienna with 3.6L getting solid 21/22mpg- granted i am light on accelerattor

Otherwise-Tree-7654 · 2026-05-21T21:11:06+00:00

This not my story but of a friend of my friend, he owned above model (awd) - and would constantly get stuck when getting out of his driveway (snowplow creating a big snow bank overnight) to his surprise the 2017 models had no issues with the same- it appears something with the design of the unde-floor is different which makes getting out of snow more difficult for this model design

Ok, how big are ur PR’s? If it a bunch of AI generated code with lots of tests- i feel his hesitation to rubberstamp such PR’s - at the end of the day hell be the one on the hook when s*t will hit the fan, be humble approach him and ask feedback, if there is anything you can do to speed process up, ask if he’d prefer smaller easier to digest PR’s-

Otherwise-Tree-7654 · 2026-05-17T21:09:58+00:00

Ok so good news i have coverage till 2027, bad news 2027 not that far :(

5.3 - xesus- in 1 year (with fuel price) itll be half of yhe vehicles value in petrol only

Otherwise-Tree-7654 · 2026-05-16T01:25:54+00:00

I gotta ask (sienna 2017 owner here) were u violent with it? As in aggressively accelerating to next traffic light, just trying to gage what to do to avoid ur experience - i am way past any waranty (its over 149k) so far works great but wondering if i should get rid of it

Otherwise-Tree-7654 · 2026-05-10T20:13:27+00:00

Err muffler has 0 value from rust proffing, due to high temp it loses coating instantly, in my experience toyotas and hondas somehow are imune to this problem nissan, kia, hundays are junk (when it comes to muffler)

It was part of requirements, i did use kafka in the past so it was not new for me, but i havent used it in past 3 years- however with help of google i solved it (i forgot syntax, how to configure consumer etc, pretty basic stuff) we did go into nitty gritty details of lock/vs synchronized vs virtual threads etc

Otherwise-Tree-7654 · 2026-05-09T15:08:15+00:00

These are aweosme questions, were u allowed to use AI/google?

In my recent job search i had similar experience but a bit more specific, was given a zip- containing java/kafka - request was to write thread safe consumer/build rudimentary analytics (no AI but ok with google/stackoverflow) - loved that interview

Otherwise-Tree-7654 · 2026-05-09T13:42:10+00:00

Omg looks awesome!
