Comment Comment by jumploops Yes, given a similarly sparse prompt, Claude Code seems to perform "better" because it eagerly does things you don't necessarily know to askGPT-5 may underwhelm with the same sparse prompt, as it seems to do exactly what's asked, not moreYou can still "fully vibe" with GPT-5, but the pattern works better in two steps:1.

Build (work through plans)Splitting the context here is important, as any LLM will perform worse as the context gets more polluted. parent jumploops 1 year ago

You can still "fully vibe" with GPT-5, but the pattern works better in two steps:
1. Plan (iterate on high-level spec/PRD, split into actions)
2. Build (work through plans)
Splitting the context here is important, as any LLM will perform worse as the context gets more polluted.
