Claude 4 Sonnet Coding Anecdote
- Chris Hay shares his frustrations with coding models often returning partial or diff-style code instead of full copy-pastable snippets.
- Claude 4 Sonnet fixes these issues, making it the best coding model in his opinion.
Coding Advantages for AI
- Coding benefits from structured environments and verifiable results, making it a killer use case for large language models.
- This contrasts with messier domains like finance, where verification and collaboration are far less structured.
AI Coding Still Needs Skilled Prompts
- Effective use of AI for coding still requires users to precisely phrase their problems and have solid domain knowledge.
- Current models aren't yet able to critique inefficient or incorrect requests automatically, limiting fully autonomous coding.
