[BUG] Claude Code suddenly dumb like sh**

Well, that´s nice. No more server overload errors. But now Claude is asking me to write code and if i understand the code, because he doesn't. And since today, sessions are a lot shorter between compactings. And after reincarnation Claude is even dumber than before. Will only partially read and respect the claude.md.
Every iteration of Claude instance is a complete gamble. Sometimes i'm getting a savant, coding like wild but without feedback of what he's doing. Sometimes i'm getting the character of my ex wife, arguing all the time and asking dumb questions while trying to get over the session without doing what it's actually supposed to do.
And code is baaaaad all the time. It does everything with timeouts instead oh callbacks. race conditions all over the code. When it removes debug prints, every removal will result in indentation erros. We had whole sessions just for removing unneccessary debug prints, fixing indentations and timeout function race condidtions. That is a very unpleasant experience paying so much money for the max subscription while 80% of tokens are used for cleaning up the mess and arguing with my ex wife.

Anthropic, when you fix server overloads, here is a hot tip: don't use your AI to do it. Do it yourself.
