This seems pretty aggressive considering this is all just personal anecdote.

I update my CLAUDE.md all the time and notice the effects.

Why all the snark?

Is it really just a personal anecdote ? Please do read some other comments on this post. The snark comes from everyone and their mother recommending "just write CLAUDE.md", when it is clear that this technology does not have intrinsic capability to perform reliable outputs based on human language input.

Yeah… that’s the point of LLMs: variable output. If you’re using them for 100% consistent output, you’re using the wrong tool.

Is it? So you are saying software should not be consistent? Or that LLMs should not be used for software development, aside from toy-projects?
