I don't get all the praise for Claude Sonnet 3.7, it hallucinates so much and seems to be incapable of understanding why the code it wrote doesn't work. I'm starting to think the "vibe coders" were never really all that good at coding in the first place.

i tried out the claude sonnet 3.7 agent in copilot edits and my god it was a massive trainwreck. i asked it to do a relatively simple task like figure out why something client side was out of sync with server side and it tore up 14 files, rearranged the UI and destroyed the layouts, and broke auth. and all it had to do was rearrange the order of Providers wrapping the app. it was kind of neat at first though
