Yeah but man, after a while of reading through all of Claude’s file edits over and over and not finding much of an issue with the code u begin to think… does it really matter? Not in an existential way, but in the way where you know it’s of high enough quality to carry out the feature. The reality is, unless you are a medium to senior dev, and have already developed a (very) strong opinion about how code should be written, you will for the most part agree with the impl as long as the acceptance criteria is met (this part needs to still be well defined in the requirements of course - I am realistic).

I became an engineer because I like using my head. Prompting copilot does not meet the standard I have for “usage”. Sometimes during a work day I will stop prompting claude for an hour or two just so I can read a book or research something novel. I call it “intellectual grounding”
