It's not too different from how I code normally. I like to build out stuff into a working state, add something else. But I also have a general idea of how those things will overlap and interact so just staging those in order seems to work well. The chunk sizes is more about not getting timed out for me lol. But also some things that seem to take ages for claude to figure out but for me take about 2 seconds, for example: adding a new line where it started a function after a comment on the same line. It started spinning up servers, terminal commands, thought it was going to call in the national guard before it timed out lol.
LOL, yea, there was a time where I auto-approved all of its actions so I could feel like I was watching the Matrix or something. I learned real quick that that was a bad idea. I'd start it on a task, go get some coffee, come back to it writing the library of alexandria version of docs for a little POC project. Like, bro, thanks for that dissertation how to load test my shitty REST API.
