Anthropic doubling down on code makes sense, that has been their strong suit compared to all other models

Curious how their Devin competitor will pan out given Devin's challenges

It's their strong suit no doubt, but sometimes I wish the chat would not be so eager to code.

It often throws code at me when I just want a conceptual or high level answer. So often that I routinely tell it not to.

Even when you tell it “no code, just talk. Let’s ensure we are in alignment and discuss our options. I’ll tell you when to code” it still decides it is going to write code.

Telling it “if you were in an interview and you jumped to writing code without asking any questions, you’d fail the interview” is usually good enough to convince it to stop and ask questions.
