Claude Opus is working for me. It's not perfect but it definitely handles busy work well enough that it's a net positive. Like I add some new fields to a table and ask it to update all the files that depend on the field and it works after 1 or 2 tries. There is a time saving benefit but there is also an avoiding mental fatigue benefit for busywork.
Write me the molecular simulation boilerplate because these crappy tools all have their own esoteric DSLs, then I tweak the parameters to my use case, avoiding the busywork -
e.g.
"Write me a simulation for methane burning in air"
Gives me a boilerplate, I modify the initial conditions (concentrations, temperatures, etc) and then deploy. Have the LLM do the busy-work, so I dont have to spend ages reading docs or finding examples just to get started.
