Dev says Astra quality tanked overnight, blindly shipping to production cost him users

A long-time Astra user reports that over the past 24 hours the coding agent's output quality collapsed: previously flawless one-shot features turned into sloppy, novice-level code with endless "you're absolutely right!" apologies. Trusting its track record, he pushed recent changes to production without proper checks — users couldn't click anything, and he lost a significant number of them. He threatens to switch to Claude if the issues aren't addressed, comparing the regression to early 3.5 turbo.
