Dunno about you, but I find thinking hard… when I offload boilerplate code to Claude, I have more cycles left over to hold the problem in my head and effectively direct the agent in detail.
I use CC in existing code bases to build out new GUI - VueJS/Quasar and it blows me away! For back end Rust code it excels at boilerplate crud handlers back to the db - it copies the style of existing code… I’ll happily pay for it if my boss does not, just work less hours…
