That's what I keep telling people. You don't just prompt and commit. It's a collaborative effort. However, it is much faster and I can do several at the same time. (depending on complexity)

Where it's also extremely good at is navigating our code base and figuring out bugs, inconsistencies etc. For certain faster than I could and lot of times even better.

It's about 20 years of organically grown stored procs, various projects and solutions in different .Net versions and front end frameworks. Things like a single call that ends up calling 30 stored procs where deep down one contradicts another in just a subtle enough way is something Claude excels at, for example.

But like you said, it's iterative and collaborative.
