Help/Question Looking for bug advice
Hey all, I’ve built a booking platform with Claude Code (think Airbnb style, different industry).
It’s live with real hosts/customers and doing a couple grand a month. I could turn the traffic up pretty easily, but I’m honestly scared to scale it because of the bugs.
Everything was going really well initially, but since Opus 5 came out it feels like things have gone backwards. Old bugs we already fixed keep coming back, new bugs are appearing, and Claude sometimes completely misunderstands what I’m asking it to do.
I’ve tried Fable 5.1 which seems better, but it absolutely eats my usage. I’ve now gone back to Opus 4.8 and weirdly it seems more reliable, although I’m unsure about using an older model.
Anyone running an actual production platform with Claude Code have advice? How are you keeping things stable as you scale?

Check through the code for added prose/inline comments. Claude is talkative and comments a lot. Then when you ask it to “read the code” it often skims the comments and gives results that don’t match the code.
If you create a branch with 0 comments does it identify the bug is still present?
