The thing is... does your code end there? Would you put that code in production without a deep analysis of what Claude did?



I’m not who you replied to but I keep functions small and testable paired with unit tests with a healthy mix of happy/sad path.

Afterwards I make sure the LLM passes all the tests before I spend my time to review the code.

I find this process keeps the iterations count low for review -> prompt -> review.

I personally love writing code with an LLM. I’m a sloppy typist but love programming. I find it’s a great burnout prevention.

For context: node.js development/React (a very LLM friendly stack.)


(GP) I wouldn't, but it would get me close enough that I can do the work that's more intellectually stimulating. Sometimes you need the people to do the concrete for a driveway, and sometimes you need to be signing off on the way the concrete was done, perhaps making some tweaks during the early stages.
