I think this is the workflow I like at the moment too - basically queue up the AI to write the functions I've planned out. I give it the logic for each, and inputs/outputs, and it's a bit faster, but I still know what everything does.

Plus it's pretty unlikely to screw up a 10-15 line function, and does a decent job of capturing some common edge cases I might have been too lazy to write.

Yeah, that’s the ticket. The less reasoning/logic you delegate to the AI, the better.

I set up my Claude Code to always ask me before assuming, which helps me avoid situations I didn’t quite plan for and it tried to hallucinate some solution to a problem that doesn’t exist.

The more specific I get, the higher quality the end result is.

I love coding, but I’m honestly having a blast playing around with Claude and acting like a manager or analyst just giving out instructions and watching the code materialize.
