* Scoping discussion - do research and figure out approach (auto mode)
* Planning - take the scoping and convert it to a concrete plan for review (plan mode)
* Implementation - put the plan into action (auto mode)
I find this works really well for my workflow, and it is really easy to trigger each phase because the model has clean boundaries. (This workflow is articulated in my user CLAUDE.md) Plan mode is still useful to me as it forces the model to double-check its plans (I find even with Opus 5.5 it still discovers gaps), and it gives me an opportunity to clear context at a really good spot.
So I would still consider plan mode to be useful. It would make me sad to see it go.
PS- I have a Claude Marketplace directory submission for an MCP server that has been sitting in review hell for six(!) months. I've never received any outcome other than "In Review". I hope I'm not asking too much but would it be possible to put me in touch with someone who might be able to help here. Nobody has ever replied to messages sent to mcp-review@anthropic or the "Anthony at Platform Operations" inquiring about status, and we are getting frustrated

Lifelong computer expert looking for a senior-ish SWE at a startup or midsize company. I have built and run infrastructure that supports entire companies (at one position) and contributed heavily to code that oversaw over $1b+ interest revenue annually (another position) under heavy growth. My expertise includes full-stack webdev, database design and admin, building telemetry and remote support for embedded apps, as well as standard intranet backoffice webapp and some frontend design. I believe strongly in testing and documentation and have on multiple occasions serves as liaison to stakeholders in other parts of the org.The first point is indeed tragic. But I think some of the blame has to fall on the consumer for failing to keep abreast of changes, and for not forcing manufacturers to change their ways.
We're super quick to cancel companies for social justice stuff, but not for spying on us?
Remote: Preferred
Willing to relocate: Will consider for western europe
Technologies: Ruby/Rails, Python, Javascript (ES5/ES6), React/Vue/Turbo, shell scripting, Regex, SQL (pref. postgres/sqlite), Linux (embedded or server). I also tinker with Java, C#, FreeBSD, Unreal Engine, and an assortment of other tech.

Close to 20 years' experience working in tech, with the last 15 or so writing code. I am 100% self-taught and a very quick study when it comes to code.
I am directly responsible for real-time telemetry, analytics, and remote support systems that have overseen $100m+ in revenue (which is still running largely unmaintained), and contributed heavily to a loan origination system that generates multiple billions' worth of interest income for a Fortune 500 national bank. I am comfortable in a wide array of technologies spanning the last 20 years, though I have chosen to specialize in backend systems, primarily with Rails. I'm looking for opportunities in web (backend) development, embedded, multimedia, or fintech spaces. Desktop app development would be really cool!
