That's not true for everyone. Some extraordinary musicians with perfect pitch also reported that it starts drifting for them as they age (I remember Oscar Peterson and Jacob Collier telling this)

Yes, I can try to memorize the order of the cards. What a lousy workaround, and absolutely no reason to defend poor UI design.

> but the problem isn't, IMO, as bad as you make out.

But it is exactly as bad as they describe it. My bank doesn't provide color options for my cards, and there is no way to distinguish my two cards aside from the displayed four digits.

Ask HN: Does Claude Code's abilities fluctuate for you too?

thdr — Wed, 04 Mar 2026 18:32:12 +0000

In the project I've been working on in the past weeks with Claude Code, I have very clear instructions in the CLAUDE.md file. Things like:

- I'll push my work on branch X on this repo. Always fetch X to see if there is something new to merge

- Never touch files Y. These must be edited by hand, by me.

- If you make any changes to file Z, you must always explicitly ask for my confirmation.

It used to work very reliably. But for the past two days, Claude Code suddenly failed to follow these instructions several times, in different sessions, and right now even after the first prompt in a new session. I didn't update Claude Code itself. Have you noticed similar things?
