For me, one of the new superpowers is the ability to interactively do multiple drafts following different design principles and see which works better.

I just started an embedded project where two different people had implemented subsystems independently, and I asked Claude to merge the code into a single project and convert the existing synchronous code into asynchronous state machines called from a single main loop. It wrote three drafts with me giving it different stylistic principles to follow. I don't know if I would have had the patience to do that myself!
