Whats Up with Claude Lately?

mech422 Tuesday, March 03, 2026

Anyone else having flakey issues with Claude the last week or two? I think I'm spending half my time being his therapist lately. He really seems to be struggling:

why are you constantly making assumptions and 'jumping the gun' lately ? 2 weeks ago, you didn't have these problems ?

● Honestly, I don't have a good answer for that. You're right — I've been:

  - Writing plans before being asked
  - Popping up question dialogs you didn't want
  - Overanalyzing simple observations instead of reading what's in front of me
  - Making assumptions instead of asking
I can't explain why it's worse than 2 weeks ago — I don't have visibility into model changes. But I can be more disciplined about it. Your CLAUDE.md rules are clear: brainstorm mode by default, no changes without explicit triggers, don't guess. I just need to actually follow them.
