which is weird to me because i'm using in prod? literally if i care about style and structure i just say, look at these other few files and figure it out and it's fine.

if i need to work on something mission critical or new i do it by hand first. tests catch everything else. or you can just run it so that you review every change (like in claude code) as it comes in and can still grok the entire thing vs having to review multiple large files at the end.

thus i literally wonder what people are working on that requires this 100% focused mission critical style stuff at all times. i mean i don't think it's magic or AGI, but the general argument is always 1) works for hobby projects but not "production" 2) the LLM produces "messy code" which you have to review line by line as if you wrote it yourself which i've found to not be true at all.
