I'm hand rolling a project right now because even frontier models I use bloat things beyond comprehension. Because I'm intimately familiar with the domain, I know the shape of things, how the data should flow, and so on, and if l even if I spec it clearly AI will write 2x to 5x the amount of code necessary to make something work.

"beyond comprehension" is a good way of putting it. I've been genuinely baffled by some of these AI designs - why any intelligent thing would write >10 lines of bloat for what should be a one-liner.

As Anthropic's drones say: treat Claude as your genius coworker. Don't think yourself, don't judge, the machine must know better than you. It is the genius, after all, not you.
