I’ve had really good luck building micro-SaaS up to a certain point of complexity, and beyond what a coding assistant will do.
A lot of the problems you describe are due to the need to provide adequate context, project details, and rules in your prompt.
Claude will generate files it doesn’t think already exist, and in a SaaS project, you have many files.
Claude will struggle with syntax and proper usage of library/module/package versions beyond its training data. You have to provide your project with knowledge to work around this.
Lastly you will hit usage limits while working on projects because it’s a fixed cost offering. You can track and generate a project status to pass on to the next agent. This works “ok” and when I hit my sonnet limit I use haiku to bug and type fixes.
Bottom line, an out of the box chatbot is a great playground to flush out your techniques, but most software projects have complexities which must be managed in a separate system designed to manage all the details and break down the project into hundreds or thousands of individual tasks.
I want this magic wand too, but you have to build that yourself (or buy it when it becomes available). It’s been a fascinating learning process.
