An r/ChatGPT post at 156 upvotes and 56 comments catalogs the specific failure sentences practitioners keep repeating, including 'I fix one bug and three take its place,' 'I spend 4 hours coding and 12 debugging,' and 'It rewrote half my codebase for one tiny change,' and argues each is a missing-engineering-discipline problem rather than a model capability problem. It pairs with the r/ClaudeAI thread the same day about compacting a two-day 900k-token context session: the community's complaints have shifted from model quality to context and process management, which is the more actionable diagnosis.
