It made me 2x slower, because with Claude's hallucinations I waste more time chasing dead ends than I gain from it in productivity.

Seems like you aren’t competent enough to identify them.

I see this a lot with sloppy devs.


What? LLMs invent things (hallucinate) all the time. I used 250m opus 4.5 input tokens this month.

I think "confabulation" is the word. "Hallucinations" imply being fooled by false external stimuli.

Not even remotely close to 2023 hallucinations.

This is a hasty comment - but I Vouched it anyway for discussion.

They could just be bad at prompting (remarkably common amongst engineers who don’t manage humans well),

they could be using a “tired” free account (these free accounts are so widely variable in effort it’s actually shocking).
