User: Claude has lost its holistic coding ability, forcing a switch to other models
BrainSurfing · reddit · 2026-11-03
A Reddit user reports Claude's coding quality has visibly degraded: it lost foresight and holistic project understanding, became tunnel-visioned on piecemeal tasks, and half-assed extending an otherwise working share-of-voice tool while claiming it was done. The author now relies on a different model ("Fable") to restore quality and asks whether the issue has been acknowledged.
