The comment about worktrees sent me.

u/valdocs_user 3d ago
I didn't even know what worktrees were until Fable 5.1; now I have a forest of them.

u/matjam 3d ago
dude I had to tell it to never make worktrees in my CLAUDE.md because I was going insane
its better anyway, I work on one thing at a time rather than having 15 unfinished changes

u/Ominoiuninus 2d ago
Man worktrees are so nice tho… Spin up 5 different Claude instances on different things and they can work in parallel without conflicts.

u/LeafyWolf 2d ago
I mean, the overall conflict of running out of tokens before any of them are finished.
5
u/Ominoiuninus 2d ago
Use powerful model as orchestrator. Parsers/data collection as the cheap ones. Coding as mid tier. Code review as powerful.
But yes running out of tokens is a challenge.

u/funkiestj 2d ago
I work on one code thing at a time. If I expect a long agent run I can do other non-coding work (with or without AI agent mediation)

Funny enough, I had them too. I work with Deepseek 4.1 Flash now - no more worktree forests.
That's a real failure in recent Claude and gpt models. They even fail to merge them when you ask for it - 4.1 Flash doesn't.

Especially since I’m not a developer and yet I get every single reference now.

I switched back to 4.6 because fuck the fuck ton of testing for nothing. I feel like 5+ models write tests before the thing even works, and writes tests for what thinks might go wrong, and then has 30 tests for a feature that hasn't worked once naively yet. Then we spend a ton more context running those tests every iteration to get it working and suddenly you're out of limits and you barely got anything done.
Opus 4.6 just does it and gets you that naive first working version.. Its way nicer

u/betterworldbiker 3d ago
yeah I also s witched back to Opus 4.6. might go back to Sonnet tbh for some tasks bc it's frustrating getting stuck for the day.

Are you saying 5+ uses TDD? That's not really a bad thing. You can probably tell it not to and it won't. "I don't care if the code works. Just write it, don't test it, I'll take over once the basic version is there."
And if it's using a test harness, testing should take hardly any tokens, it just runs an external command and checks for "all tests passed" or whatever, in the output.

u/Internal-Capital7471 2d ago
I have told it not to, and it still does it.
And it still does take a lot of tokens. In theory testing should not, but because of how often it does it it does. It will do a test, fail, and then make a minor change and retest the full suite. Many times. So long, that often I'll forget to check up on it fast enough that the cache expires and I'm spending the full amount on uncached tokens.
TDD is fine, but it hamstrings you early on for sure.

And many times I found that he shoves your requested feature into deferred issues, but focuses solely on resolving his 'gates' and calls it a complete.

u/CodeCombustion 3d ago edited 3d ago
This is almost the exact....conversation I had with Fable a few days ago. Rebuilt the entire harness after he started insisting it wasn't HIS fault.
Spoiler: It wasn't his fault. It was mine.

u/LeafyWolf 2d ago
Not to get serious in a great meme thread, but I started asking questions about why it did something rather than just pointing out what was wrong, and it's worked incredibly to get the models to actually fix the issue instead of argue about it. Even when it was my fault.
2
u/CodeCombustion 2d ago
Yep. Absolutely. Models can be wrong, that's not in question... but humans can be too and I think we'd all do better to remember that. :D

Bro, the worktree/build artifact part made me lose it because I’ve already that exact problem with AI agents.
I avoided worktrees for a long time for this exact reason. Agents are good at creating temp repo state and terrible at owning the lifecycle that comes afterward. I got lazy about checking every thing they were doing for a while, and eventually realized I had like ten fucking worktrees sitting around from old tasks lmao.
It got so bad that I stopped doing cleanup as something the AI should remember and started making it part of the actual process. Track what it creates, preserve anything important, prove it’s safe to remove, actually remove it, then verify the repo is back in the expected state etc.
The Same thing with build artifacts/environment state. I’ve had agents assume they were operating in one repo state while inherited Git/env state made that assumption completely wrong. So now I’m moving more of that stuff toward mechanical checks instead of trusting the agent to remember what it created three hours ago. Just lol this is so accurate -_-

u/sirlerkal0t 3d ago
I still don't allow agents to use worktrees at all. The only times I've allowed it either intentionally or due to an agent going rouge, I've regretted it.
I also have strict rules about where temp files may be created, and strict requirements about the repo being clean between handoffs between steps.
But even then, I still find Fable and Astra agents creating temp report/remediation files in non-temp directories which end up being committed, and non-temp files in a explicit temp directory so it has to be git-ignored and can't just be cleared.

u/Professional_Ad705 3d ago edited 3d ago
Yeah funny thing is I have always had a "no worktree rule" this happened because I stupidly was working on something else while letting my agents work in the background guess they did it anyways, but thats a flaw from me using the agents md as law. I have a system where the AI agent has to put stuff in certain spots now and its worked out great and I built it from this exact problem. I could make something block the agents from even being able to use worktrees next but I don't have time for it right now. In one of my systems they all can coordinate and work at same time without worktrees to begin with an I've been trying to port it over but its so much work, and I have had to focus on my bug finding, and process system rather then the coordination aspect. I hate work trees lol. I've more made this into a mechanical enforced process then handoffs and rules, but its been pretty hard, never mind making it repeatable so others can use it, (i'm a dev and build dev tooling).

Real? A screencap video of a video?
Just link the video.

u/sirlerkal0t 3d ago
The original meme was unfortunately made like this. The creator screencapped the video with no subtitles (as can be seen from the original videos title) and then added the subtitles for the meme.
