Query: “What are the most common pain points with Claude Code for developers in 2025?”4/4/2026

Mocked testing: Writes tests that don't actually verify functionality... Tests it generates is mostly useless. 9/10 times it always passes on all tests it creates for itself but the code does not even start.
