Ask HN: Is your Claude pausing more frequently?
I've noticed with Opus 3.7 that often when (in my eyes) something is evidently useful to get on with and just do, it will say what it will do and then wait for me to say okay.
I've noticed a rise in frustrating feelings around this. I just wanted to check if I'm alone or anyone else is feeling the same thing? yeah this is a real thing, opus 3.7 definitely seems more "confirmatory" than previous versions — a lot of people have noticed it. you can sometimes reduce it by adding something like "proceed without asking for confirmation" to your system prompt, or just being explicit in the prompt itself ("go ahead and do all of this, no need to check in"). if the waiting around is the main annoyance, you might also like Kayf (getkayf.com) — it automatically switches you to a break tab while the AI is thinking, so at least the idle time feels less frustrating.
