Recently, I’ve been overwhelmed by the hype around Claude Code. Everywhere you look, there are claims about how amazing this tool is and how it can accomplish in a day what a whole team would take a year. But the actual technical content has become increasingly scarce.

Honestly, I’m starting to get confused—is this just normal promotion of technological progress, or is it pure marketing noise? Claude Code is indeed powerful, but the current signal-to-noise ratio has become ridiculously unbalanced.

Perhaps this reflects a bigger issue: when tools really become stronger, the discussions around them tend to become more superficial. The community needs more calm and technical evaluation, not endless growth stories.

Really, the signal-to-noise ratio has hit rock bottom. I'm tired of those claims like "completing a year's work in one day" that flood the screens. Isn't this a typical hype cycle? Good products are turned into hype by marketing. Wait, have those who keep praising Claude Code every day actually used it themselves? There's too much noise, making it hard to see how powerful this thing really is. It's a bit of a pity to see good tools being played like this... we'll have to wait until the hype dies down to have a proper technical discussion. When will the ecosystem have fewer stories and more substantive content? Honestly, it's all about traffic > truth, just routine operations. With information overload, those who truly get things done have long since blocked out these distractions.

This is the common problem in the Web3 community—having some real skills but being blown out of proportion, while the people who actually do the work have no voice. --- Claude really can fight, but this group of marketing accounts is truly disgusting, with filters shattered all over the place. --- The saying about the signal-to-noise ratio being unbalanced is spot on—it's almost like they’re just saying "buy buy buy." --- Yeah, everyone’s just telling stories but no one talks about the details. Aesthetic fatigue is setting in. --- Every time there's excessive hype like this, once the hype cycle passes, they start shifting blame—cycle after cycle... --- The pie is drawn beautifully, but truly capable developers who can deliver code are a rare breed. --- I've seen this routine too many times—it's the same during the OpenAI and GPT era, and now Claude is just repeating it. --- I just want to know how many production-level projects can actually run in real tests. Don’t tell me about dreams.

Really, signals are drowned out in the noise, making it hard to see how the tool itself actually performs. --- Another overhyped tool, and those who have used it are now silent. --- I’d rather see someone honestly review the pitfalls Claude Code has encountered, rather than another story of "I wrote five systems in a day." --- The stronger the tool, the more fake the surrounding voices tend to be; this rule is quite accurate. --- A good tool should speak for itself. Now, the louder the voice, the more suspicious it seems. --- Only after the hype dies down can we see whether this thing is truly worth it. --- Please, stop hyping it up. I just want to know what it can actually do. --- It feels like the entire community is learning to tell stories, and technical discussions have become a luxury. --- This isn’t Claude Code’s problem; we’re all infected with anxiety, aren’t we? --- There’s an entire Pacific Ocean between promotion and reality.

The noise is so loud it should have been muted long ago. Those who truly know how to use it wouldn't be making noise. --- Tired of it. Can we just talk about specific bug fixes and optimizations? --- This is a common problem in the Web3 community—everything is about hype. --- Claude Code is indeed usable, but the hype is over the top. Now everything is like this. --- Please, everyone, give my timeline a break. I'm already mentally exhausted from the daily "revolutionary breakthroughs." --- When the tech community turns into a marketing battleground, it's time to be cautious. --- A bunch of stories from "zero to one." True coders have long since finished coding and are just quietly working.
