the main issue is that you end up looking down the barrel of begging claude, for the fifth time this session, to do it right- or just do it yourself in half the total time you've wasted so far.

at least, this is what i typically end up with.

Typically, I've been asking it to do "heavy lifting" for me.

It generally generates defective code, but it doesn't really matter all that much, it is still useful that it is mostly right, and I only need to make a few adjustments. It saves me a lot of typing.

Would I pay for it? Probably not. But it is included in my IntelliJ subscription, so why not? It is there already.
