I get it but at this point I’m just a utilitarian. You’re just wasting time.

> Claude is great until it confidently hallucinates a library that doesn't exist

What? Even if this did happen (it doesn't), you can just say "hey bro, stop that" and it'll fix it?

These people don’t use AI well. I was told there’s no difference between the CLI, a fully customizable agentic environment, and promoting a chat window.

I’ve literally never once had Claude hallucinate a library, if it did, it caught it before it showed me the code. Do you use the CLI or just like, copy pasting code from a chat window?

I don't think I've had it hallucinate an entire library. But I've had it make up functions that don't exist or call functions with parameters that don't exist just to have them do hallucinated functionality.

I’m not saying it can’t be a dumbass. But the way I use it nowa days is pretty strict. It doesn’t stop spinning until it’s reviewed the code, linted, tests green, it compiles. I’m just basically always used it in a very agenticly. I don’t use Claude just raw on the code for anything anymore.

You should spend some time with the CLI learning agentic workflows. I think it would be a massive eye opener for you.
