Ah, this is true - for my purposes, I've been directing the design and deliberating on the constraints and specifications for a larger system in tandem with smaller planning sessions.

That has worked well so far, but yes, you are totally right, there are still quite a few pain points and it is still rather far from being fire-and-forget "build me a fancy landing page for a turnkey business" and getting enterprise quality code.

edit: I think it is most important that you collaborate with Claude Code on quality in a systematic way, but even that has limits, right now - 1M context changes things a little bit.

You know, with all the babysitting needed, I wonder if effort is not better spent in just, you know, writing code.

Can you actually quantify the time & effort 'saved' letting LLM generate code for you?

For me, personally, I'm building things that would have been impractical for me to do as cleanly within the same amount of time - prototypes in languages that I don't have the muscle memory for, using algorithms i have a surface level understanding of but would need time to deeply understand and implement by hand, and, at my pace, as a retired dev, is probably quantified in terms of years worth of time and effort saved.

edit: also, would I take the time to implement LCARS by hand? No. But with an LLM, sure, took it about 3 minutes or less to implement a pretty decent LCARS interface for me.
