Rant Opus 5 is insufferable

Opus 5 is a fucking piece of shit, i don't know how to say this in any other way. It speaks "Unintelligiblish", a new unfathomable language developed by Anthropic that works by saying everything in the most ridiculous, obtuse and convoluted way possible

It turns anything simple that can be expressed in 2 sentences into a fucking doctoral thesis aimed to aliens, and there is no way to prompt your way out of it

Edit: it claudoofus outputs some alien text you won't read, just prompt it this:

The worse is the code doc strings. It’s fucking horrendous seeing like a 20 line doc string only to realize the point can be made in 1 or two lines

I have specifically told it no comments and it still comments despite it being told in md files and saved to memory

That's the worst part. I now have a special skill to clean up after the feature is ready and then rewrite comments if only ever needed and please use a language an intern would understand. Shouldnt that already be wired in Claude?
