erikpau··on Issue: Claude Code is unusable for complex engineering tasks with Feb updates
I'd hate to be that guy, but Opus not a very smart model when the effort is set to anything below high. I think, given the feedback from the community, this would be an obvious signal. However, moving the effort to anything beyond medium is a huge token burn. These issues didn't exist, or at least not this persistent, before the last 2 weeks. I, and perhaps a million or so other developers, would ask you to reconsider this thinking. I understand you need to run a business, but so do we, and Claude Opus is genius with a drinking problem, and you never really know upfront if it's drunk or not, but it's generally quite clear after a few minutes.

Other models, such as K2, GLM-5.1, and "the other one" seem to far less drunk than your approach, and you're losing fans quickly if you keep making these kind of changes to the tools or models.

thanks. You can read the dev blog here: https://allscreenshots.dev
erikpau··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (February 2026)
Working on https://allscreenshots.com - a screenshot API for developers.

I got frustrated with existing screenshot services choking on cookie banners, rendering half-loaded pages, and serving bloated images. So my co-founder and I built one that auto-dismisses cookie consent dialogs using Playwright heuristics, serves AVIF-first from Cloudflare R2, and supports geo-distributed rendering so you can capture pages as they'd appear from different regions.

Spring Boot + React + PostgreSQL. Bootstrapped after selling a previous ecommerce SaaS.

Currently documenting the whole build in a 30-day series on the blog if anyone's into that sort of thing.

erikpau··on Calculate your reach on X/Twitter
Based on this post https://x.com/retardmode/status/2013481448838164799?s=46 and the https://github.com/xai-org/x-algorithm repo, we've built a small calculator to visualise the score calculation on X.
erikpau··on Show HN: Capture website screenshots from your terminal. No browser needed
Yes, that's why we built it. iTerm has https://iterm2.com/documentation-images.html, and Kitty has the Terminal Graphics Protocol.

This is also a good library which show the image display in action https://github.com/atanunq/viu

That's absolutely a side effect indeed, though the level of interaction with the website is quite limited. But glad you find it useful!
