I feel like we're talking about different things. You seem to be describing a mode of working that produces output that's good enough to warrant the token cost. That's fine, and I have use cases where I do the same. My gripe was with the parent poster's quote:

> Claude and GPT regularly write programs that are way better than what I would’ve written

What you're describing doesn't sound "way better" than what you would have written by hand, except possibly in terms of the speed that it was written.

yeah it writing stuff that's way better than mine is not the case for me, at least for areas I'm familiar with. In areas I'm not familiar with, it's way better than what I could have produced.
