I have the same feeling.

Like there is no way in world that Gen AI is faster then an actual cracked coder shooting the exact bash/sql commands he needs to explore and writing a proper intent-communicating abstraction.

I’m thinking the difference is in order of magnitudes.

On top of that it adds context loss, risk of distraction, the extra work of reading after the job is done + you’ll have less of a mental model no matter how good you read, because active > passive.

Man it was really the weirdest thing that Claude Coded started hiding more and more changes. Thats what you need, staying closely on the loop.
