Be careful about the new version of Claude.

Its very verbose, it writes a lot of code, but I just caught it, hard coding some replies to an API I was creating an introspection for. All this like in the middle of many hundreds of innocent lines of code.

Go and review every single line of code. This is a pro developer colleague that will fail you when you least expect. Frankly the time savings are minimal for professional quality code.

Some will say it was a problem with the prompt, but I would say it was mimicking the behavior I have seen professional developers do under a deadline. :-)
