alt Hacker NewsI'm not a big user, but I have been doing some vibe-ish coding for a PoC the past few days, and I'm astonished at how bad it is at python in particular (Opus 4.6 High).
* It likes to put inline imports everywhere, even though I specify in my CLAUDE.md that it should not.
* We use ruff and pyright and require that all problems are addressed or at least ignored for a good reason, but it straight up #noqa ignores all issues instead.
* For typing it used the builtin 'any' instead of typing.Any which is nonsense.
* I asked it to add a simple sum of a column from a related database table, but instead of using a calculated sum in SQL it did a classic n+1 where it gets every single row from the related table and calculates the sum in python.
Just absolute beginner errors.

It really does have some disgusting inline behaviors. I’ve also seen it do some really bizarre stuff with SQL
Clajjan is this you?
Weird, I've been using Claude Code w/ Opus 4.5/4.6 for Python programming the last couple months and I rarely see the issues you mentioned.
