Ah, this is true - for my purposes, I've been directing the design and deliberating on the constraints and specifications for a larger system in tandem with smaller planning sessions.
That has worked well so far, but yes, you are totally right, there are still quite a few pain points and it is still rather far from being fire-and-forget "build me a fancy landing page for a turnkey business" and getting enterprise quality code.
edit: I think it is most important that you collaborate with Claude Code on quality in a systematic way, but even that has limits, right now - 1M context changes things a little bit.
You know, with all the babysitting needed, I wonder if effort is not better spent in just, you know, writing code.
Can you actually quantify the time & effort 'saved' letting LLM generate code for you?
