Neat, I'm in a similar state of believing the tech is currently in a state that's actually useful while also understanding why the skeptics find it infuriating instead.
( p.s. Tell claude that when quickly pressing keys with a mouse that there is audible clipping. This doesn't seem to happen when using the keyboard. )
If I'm playing a quick pattern like this and holding down some bass note, depending on where the pattern starts, the middle two notes will become "synchronized" and play/get recorded at the same time. In my example, the top 4 notes work fine, but shifting down by one note causes the bug. I also switched between holding the bass not and not for demonstration. I assure you my fingers aren't doing anything different, I messed around with this for a while.
The Claude the industry needs is one that responds to that prompt with questions about scope and intent, and challenges its only-suitable-for-tutorials design ideas rather than obediently delivering a "90% finished product".
10 years ago, this basically marks the difference between hiring some dude on Fiverr for $400 and an actual engineer or agency who might help you figure out what the heck you're trying to do and point you in some sane direction towards it.
I appreciate this article for sharing what kind of experience people can expect from Claude right now, but it mostly demonstrates that code assistants remain most useful in the hands of experts who are careful what to ask for, and largely misleading and slop-amplifying for people who don't.
This might not exactly be the place for it but what I struggle with regarding Claude Code is that it doesn't seem to listen to me. I will give it a specific example of code to use as a guide and it just wants to start searching the code base for similar patterns instead of just using the example that has everything it should need. I know claude.md can help but I am not having much luck with a large .NET project using internal nuget packages. I am able to get results decently well but this is a repeated problem I have and if I am not careful, it will blow through my limits.

edit: got a better recording: https://webpiano.jcurcioconsulting.com/play/b4qautCGQpQjA6wq...
2nd edit: I thought this had to do with the "groupings" of keys but even the middle 4 that are grouped together show this behavior: https://webpiano.jcurcioconsulting.com/play/5XuIskeJNQQaiC7h...
