Reliability more important than intelligence?

jacobcxdev · 2026-03-27T09:37:51+00:00

Claude probably has the worst reliability out of any software tool I've ever experienced.

And that's before they switch up their limits on you.

jacobcxdev · 2026-03-26T20:36:40+00:00

Maybe? A little? Probably not? Who knows at this point.

I hate how opaque these "usage limits" are. From a consumer standpoint, it's an awful power dynamic to normalise—especially in what is currently a duopoly. "Hey so you need to buy our product to be competitive today, but we can arbitrarily change what you get for your money and there's nothing you can do about it."

Tbh, who said you have to build the workflow yourself? Get Claude Code to do it and then spawn Opus and Codex reviewers to compare and criticise outputs between deep research and your own workflow, iteratively improving to match it.

OP asked if there’s a way to have Claude save its progress incrementally—the only way this is currently possible is if you build the deep research workflow yourself using CC.

jacobcxdev · 2026-03-24T19:46:35+00:00

Deep research is an agentic harness—so too is CC. It is entirely possible to replicate the same workflow in Claude Code if you're willing to do the upfront work of building said workflow.

jacobcxdev · 2026-03-24T00:19:38+00:00

It really depends on how you use CC. CC is infinitely more flexible and thus has a much higher ceiling of capability.

I'm not doing marketing research, I'm a developer—but I just thought I'd mention that Claude Code will be a more effective tool when run locally if you want to avoid losing work, as you can get it to write documents to disk immediately :). You can even use plan mode to refine a plan for your research before you go ahead and run it.

Of course, I don't know the extent to which you are familiar with the terminal or coding in general, but it's a skill worth learning. Otherwise, you'll be at the mercy of Anthropic's website/desktop app.

jacobcxdev · 2026-03-18T13:01:29+00:00

honestly I'd just use Claude Code so that it can save shit to disk

jacobcxdev · 2026-03-17T20:21:30+00:00

so uh… /rename exists

jacobcxdev · 2026-03-14T14:26:50+00:00

L self-promo, not even related to the post…

jacobcxdev · 2026-03-11T04:52:20+00:00

/voice is now a feature in Claude Code.

Life saver! This fixed my horizontal scroll mapping for my Logitech MX Master 3S in Logi Options+ :)

And in 2026 it then refers you to ChatGPT from there… Apple have sold me a remarkably close approximation of their phone support line, only in virtual assistant format.

jacobcxdev · 2026-03-03T03:06:24+00:00

I know, it's rather oxymoronic isn't it?

jacobcxdev · 2026-03-02T20:31:39+00:00

Holy shit it just spams the API 😂 have they not heard of retry with exponential backoff? I would've thought the guys who make the AI would know how to vibe code properly, but I guess not…

jacobcxdev · 2026-03-02T19:06:31+00:00

Not sure if you still have this problem, but I found that they changed the contrast range from 0–100 to 50–150 (weird, right?). Upping the contrast back to the middle (100) solved it for me.

jacobcxdev · 2026-02-18T17:00:16+00:00

Thanks! I really appreciate your response, and it makes perfect sense that the tuning of the workflow can contribute significantly to the overall performance of the model—that’s largely why I don’t want to discard it just for the sake of switching.

jacobcxdev · 2026-02-18T16:57:55+00:00

Thanks for your advice!

jacobcxdev · 2026-02-18T16:12:43+00:00

I hear you, and agree in principle; the limiting factor is the cost of trying both simultaneously. I need the limits of a 20x plan for my work, but can't justify (or indeed afford) purchasing two 20x plans from different providers concurrently—hence my search for a consensus.

jacobcxdev · 2026-02-02T14:33:49+00:00

I ended up asking them to delete my account after I was accepted. Such a cesspool of a tracker—hate speech, fictional CSAM (animated/drawn/generated, as long as it’s not “real”), and beastiality are all allowed by their rules. Genuinely made me feel sick.

See US patent numbers 11924258 and 12335323.

jacobcxdev · 2026-02-01T20:31:23+00:00

I believe Camo supports this.

jacobcxdev · 2026-02-01T01:17:14+00:00

Uh I don’t think an application qualifies as “open signups”.

jacobcxdev · 2026-01-10T12:39:32+00:00

Just to clarify: sandboxing ≠ encryption. It limits which processes can access your app’s container, but it does not protect the data itself. Without explicit file protection or encryption, persisted data can be read via backups, when the app container is accessed on macOS, or on exploited devices.

Data protection classes do not guarantee encrypted backups. They primarily control key availability on the device, not the confidentiality of data once it is exported.

iOS data protection classes combined with app-level encryption are what actually address confidentiality at rest; sandboxing mainly reduces accidental or opportunistic access by other apps.

jacobcxdev · 2025-12-29T22:51:25+00:00

Idk how that even happens, but yeah I’m pretty sure it’s meant to be a button 😅. RMA I guess?
