Hi Madhava, in the blog post you mentioned in "Claude Code Use-cases" that it's good at "one shot entire applications (like crabmux)", however, I am curious about how good it is at changing small things, do small improvements / fixing bugs?

It’s actually really good at small bugs but you need to make sure it can understand what’s broken by giving it context. Logs, curls, screenshots etc. The biggest problem is when it goes on vision quests and does stuff you didn’t ask.

The meme with the car and duck are basically how AI agents like to “fix bugs”, sometimes they’re like oh I fixed the bug and changed the button which you never asked for. Lol. Adding a wheel and changing the car into a cat!
