It's amazing isn't it? Claude Code will do amazing things, but stumble on the easiest things. "Change this border radius 2px" ... "Okay, heres a brand new custom component"

You’re not wrong. However, it is possible I could have wasted time doing something, inevitably. At least Claude Code closes that gap significantly which is ultimately a huge net positive for me. Even if it makes silly mistakes. I ask it to ensure it has read my CLAUDE.md and understood the project structure as the first prompt when I do a task. Almost never fails anymore. I also have a 950 line CLAUDE.md that describes the system architecture and maybe put like 4 hours of work into that prompt.
Maybe I’m not elite human capital you might say. I’m sure you’ve written perfect code and have a 100% sales rate. Kidding but I’m sure you get it.
At worst I get some time foe personal life. At best I will save a ton of time.
