Also - formalize what can be. There may be e.g. opportunities to write scripts that can be tested and linted. I realize this isn't always possible, but I do think it should be ruled out rather than ignored.
Counterpoint: the person who understands how do to a task without the tool often winds up being the more capable user of the tool.

You're right.
It isn't the average bound, it is the upper and lower bound stated together ( as long as thats the same function )

I think that's a completely natural source of frustration for someone who is used to being able to put hands to keyboard and solve problems quickly, but IMO the higher you climb the ladder, the more you have the opportunity and responsibility to take a longer view and to delegate - which often means that other people are pushing the code.

I don't think that is controversial.
My system CLAUDE.MD spells out my preferences in stack and architecture, and how I expect the agent to interact with me.
I have it generate a summary doc in large repos so it doesn't need to slurp in the world to review a PR or work on a corner of it.

I'm bothered by it because whatever git command that I'm executing will put its output in a pager and when I quit the pager it's not there anymore. I want the output on the screen when I start typing the next command. Oh my God, this is such a frustrating pattern.
