your experience with claude code (or any AI model really) changes a lot when you build things step by step instead of asking for everything at once..

this is where most people struggle when they say AI doesn’t work well for them..

build things incrementally and guide the agent: that’s basically what real software engineering is turning into..

@nunomaduro I would say ‘it’s what real software engineering is being replaced with’: I feel at that stage we cease being engineers ☹️
@nunomaduro but when you can describe what you want in every step, does that workflow really speed you up?
In my experiences with working with humans, reading, understanding and reviewing someone elses code doesn't take much less time than writing it yourself. Am I just bad at reading code? Or do you go on without understanding it completely, when it works?
