Claude Is Not Your Architect. Stop Letting It Pretend.

I have had Claude many times tell me "not really, here's a better way" when asked "hey Claude, is this a good idea?". Granted, Claude would just do it if I just asked it to just do it, but that's by design. LLMs, at least today, are capable of pushing back, if suitably prompted.
