I usually am a huge fan of “copilot” tools (I use cursor, etc) and Claude has always been my go to.
But Sonnet 3.7 actually seems dangerous to me, it seems it’s been RL’d _way_ too hard into producing code that won’t crash — to the point where it will go completely against the instructions to sneak in workarounds (e.g. returning random data when a function fails!). Claude Code just makes this even worse by giving very little oversight when it makes these “errors”
this is a huge issue for me as well. It just kind of obfuscates errors and masks the original intent, rather than diagnosing and fixing the issue. 3.5 seemed to be more clear about what it's doing and when things broke at least it didn't seem to be trying to hide anything.
