A lot of the new tools are embedded in your editor so you don’t have to copy paste in either direction.

My experience is that it can still be tricky to get high quality results when letting the AI actually edit the code for you. A few of my attempts went rather poorly. I’m hoping tweaks to how I use the tools improve this. Or I’ll just wait until better versions are released :)

I use Claude in the web interface quite often though. It’s very helpful for certain queries. And I can usually abort quickly when it gets lost or starts hallucinating.

Yeah that jives.

We are trying to learn how to use these tools effectively. They are a bit alien. And the landscape / ecosystem is a confusing mix of crazy hype and real progress that is rapidly changing month by month.

You definitely can't give them a complex task and then walk away. Maybe in the next year or so that will more be possible. We shall see.
