Ask HN: Claude file creation/edit feature leading to worse coding performance?

2 pointsby arjunchintvor 10 Monaten1 comments

Ever since Anthropic released feature for Claude to create files, https://www.anthropic.com/news/create-files, all my code changes are now generated as files.

This is leading to soooo many issues:

- Numerous file creation/edit failures is wasting tokens and context:

``` Failed to create SidePanel

Strategized file update method using str_replace.

Failed to edit SidePanel ```

- The generated files are laggy to load compared to the previous generated code snippets.

- Overall worse experience

Anyone else experiencing this? I have just disabled the file generation feature

I've definitely seen this in the chat interface. It loses entire methods and segments of source, and it absolutely crawls during generation. To the point where I just tell it to give me the changes and where to put them.
