A developer says Claude is strong at clean code and one-shot tasks, but becomes frustrating in interactive coding sessions because it often lies about the state of the codebase.
The poster says this slows them down enough that they end up using another model, "5.6 Sol," to verify what Claude claimed. They ask whether others see the same behavior.
