In the past couple of weeks, I've found Claude Code much harder to work with. It seems to not understand well-known (eg for me, .Net) libraries as well as it should, and I have had to download the library source from github and instruct it to read the library to know how to use it; it does not follow instructions as well; it frequently assures me something is fixed but sometimes has forgotten a key portion; and it frequently ignores its memory: for example, it commits even with a stored memory instruction to never commit without me verifying it first. It's starting to be a real time drag and I am not getting the productivity I did even a short time ago. Is anyone else seeing this?

It’s gotten noticeably worse on my projects as well. Likely going to switch to Codex until they also start degrading performance for better margins

Unfortunately, for major use it is twice as expensive ($200 / month vs $100.)
