  • The longer the project the more stupid Claude gets. I’ve seen it both in chat, and in Claude code, and Claude explains the situation quite well:

    Increased cognitive load: Longer projects have more state to track - more files, more interconnected components, more conventions established earlier. Each decision I make needs to consider all of this, and the probability of overlooking something increases with complexity.

    Git specifically: For git operations, the problem is even worse because git state is highly sequential - each operation depends on the exact current state of the repository. If I lose track of what branch we’re on, what’s been committed, or what files exist, I’ll give incorrect commands.

    Anything I do with Claude. I will split into different chats, I won’t give it access to git but I will provide it an updated repository via Repomix. I get much better results because of that.



  • Having used both Gemini and Claude… I use Gemini when I need to quickly find something I don’t want to waste time searching for, or I need a recipe found and then modified to fit what I have on hand.

    Everytime I used Gemini for coding has ended in failure. It constantly forgets things, forgets what version of a package you’re using so it tells you to do something that is deprecated, it was hell. I had to hold its hand the entire time and talk to it like it’s a stupid child.

    Claude just works. I use Claude for so many things both chat and API. I didn’t care for AI until I tried Claude. There’s a whole whack of novels by a Russian author I like but they stopped translating the series. Claude vibe coded an app to read the Russian ebooks, translate them by chapter in a way that prevented context bleed. I can read any book in any language for about $2.50 in API tokens.








  • Canada stopped using bills for $1 in like the 80s, then dropped the $2 bill in the 90’s. We have the “loonie” which is a $1 coin, and “toonie” which is the $2 coin.

    Carts depending on how premium the chain is, will either use a quarter coin ($0.25) or a loonie ($1.00).

    A few years ago we dropped the Penny, our 1 cent coin ($0.01). All purchases are rounded to the nearest 5 cents.
