Ask HN: Has Claude Code quality dropped recently for anyone else?

[vampiregrey]

I’m a daily user of Claude Code (Pro subscription) and it’s been my primary tool for the last few months.

Over the past week or so, I’ve noticed:

More shallow reasoning

Ignoring parts of context

More confident-but-wrong answers

Slight regression in structured refactors

This is mostly in real-world coding tasks (mid-size projects, not toy prompts).

Could just be my workload getting more complex — but it feels different.

Has anyone else noticed a shift in quality recently? Or is this just variance + perception bias on my end?

Would love to hear if others are seeing similar patterns (or not).
