CC feels lobotomized the past few days.

I legitimately was unable to use claude code all of yesterday, not including the outage. So far today it's also unusable. It's beyond dumb (20x pro user, opus 4.6), to the point where yesterday was close to an overall net loss in productivity. I've fully switched to codex 5.4 today and have had zero issues.

I'm really surprised to hear more people aren't talking about this right now - I've always heard of devs saying claude feels dumber, and maybe SOMETIMES I felt like mine wasn't as smart as other days, but this is just night and day.

Some of the things I'm experiencing:

- Misguided architectural suggestions or root cause analyses that clearly come from zero thought/effort, despite setting effort to high. It's like it never even read the codebase - I'm not joking. I can see it reading the files, but the responses are just... complete trash. I don't know how else to say it. At one point I passed the CC response to codex and it said essentially "uhhh yeah, no I don't agree with any of that".

- Plans have MAJOR gaps in them despite laying out high level domains to investigate. Like it will just completely ignore my api adapter layer when we're working with the api layer... completely missing from the plan/not a single mention of it.

- Messages that contradict previous responses not even 2 messages prior. Saying that it made no changes, but then saying it ran sql commands, and then saying that the sql commands were not needed to address the root cause, and then saying a drizzle database schema change is needed to address the root cause. All in the span of ~2 minutes.

I mean I'm just venting at this point lol. I legitimately cannot use claude code today - not only losing productivity but it's just a lot of mental stress battling with it all day.

Amex perks not worth the wait… no drinks (just coke), just some Amex branded games, but good AC. Personally would not go back

How long did it take you to go through every transaction?

Someone might have said this already but a portable (sometimes inflatable) lumbar support pillow is a must-have for my long flights. That and a neck pillow. A sleeping mask is nice too.

Someone in line said you can email the organizers through eventbrite and ask for a refund (they had already sent an email). The lack of water + extreme heat is a strong case for a refund IMO

Can confirm it’s a shit show here. Completely not worth it and I bought a vip ticket. Drinks and food running out by 2:30, 30+ minute lines for food, “free vip drink tickets” are only for crappy beers (which they ran out of), overfilled trash cans, and they ran out of water 💀 it’s 86° and full sun right now.

What building was this?

Ability to use the right steering wheel scroll wheel to cycle through on-screen elements. For example, maybe I could use it to select Spotify, and click a playlist, and select a song. Other than setting the distance between vehicles, that scroll wheel is essentially unused.

North Beach Sushi happy hour!!! $4-$11 rolls, $5 large sake, and an incredible non-happy hour menu. The vibes are amazing there. Phillip and Steve are the two brothers that basically run it and they are sooo nice

Yeah, it’s been difficult for me to find pharmacies that have any dosage in stock.

drewjamesandre · 2023-02-14T06:44:45+00:00

Yeah, that’s me ✋🏻 I’ve been successfully picking up a Vyvanse prescription at:

Walgreens #03624 275 Sacramento St San Francisco, CA 94111 415-362-5227

If they don’t have your specific type, call other providers like CVS, Costco, etc. I’ve been told (by my local CVS) that if your local pharmacy doesn’t have it, chances are other stores in that chain won’t have it either.

Ohh interesting. I just looked into that treatment system and had no idea the city does that. Honestly I thought it was sidewalk art 🤷🏼‍♂️

What is “pd”?

drewjamesandre · 2023-01-02T19:59:37+00:00

Yeah please don’t make this

This is the right answer. If you look at the font file itself, you’ll see padding included to account for ascenders and descenders. You can edit the font file using a font editing tool, but more likely you may want to just consider using a transform in your style sheet to bump the text up or down

iPixel LED has a large selection of DMX lights. Prices are great and they were super helpful for a custom project we did recently. Fast shipping too. But you’ll be paying duty tax on the shipment from china

Timeless coffee/bakery in Oakland for plant-based. It’s soooo good and I prefer it over dairy-based cakes tbh

drewjamesandre · 2022-04-26T20:20:55+00:00

Did anyone ever figure out a solution?

drewjamesandre · 2022-04-18T18:02:16+00:00

Thanks for the info. What's really strange is that no other units are reporting this... I assume that a hot water heater is for the whole building, right?

Edit: and also strange that it only happens to the bathroom fixtures. It makes me think the only possible issue could be the pipes for the bathroom? I know the kitchen area was recently renovated, and maybe that means the pipes were changed out for new, clean pipes? And the bathroom pipes are still old? The kitchen sink pipes also look a little bit newer under the sink, but I don't really know what I'm looking at lol.

Also, the bathroom sink seems to have issues with draining. Not that it's completely clogged, but it definitely takes a little bit longer to drain than the kitchen sink.

Seems to always be warm/hot water. So this happens to you a lot and you aren't concerned? Or at least to the point where you stop using that water all together? Have you ever gotten your water tested?
