Awais: Claude Code hides 50+ tool-call failures per session on DeepSeek
“In CloudCode you know, they hide a lot of the errors behind control O, right? So you don't even know that, you know, you have like 50 plus tool call failures plus per session. You're just sitting there and you're like, oh, why is DeepSeq so slow?”

Awais: Open LLM coding failures are harness issues, not model issues
“So I feel like this always ends up being a tool call, a hardness issue. Then, you know, an actual model issue.”

Awais: Interactive permission prompts degrade coding agent model performance
“If you run any coding agent with permissions on, The models are actually number. And if you run them without, you know, the complete bypass of permissions, they do much better. Even if you like sit through those yes, yes, yes, accept or whatnot, you will see t…”

Awais: AI design slop is a contract gap, not a model capability deficit
“Feels like you can fix 90% of a design slop, which is not a capability gap. It's more like a contract gap in what your harness is telling an LLM to do versus what your user is saying.”

Awais: Design is now the key differentiator in software as building gets commoditized
“Like a lot of people are right now able to build just about anything. And we are now differentiating between good work and bad work based on their design.”
