I’ve made full-ass changes on existing codebases with Claude It’s a skill you can learn, pretty close to how you’d work with actual humans

    What full ass changes have you made that can’t be done better with a refactoring tool? I believe Claude will accept the task. I’ve been fixing edge cases in a vibe colleague’s full-ass change all month. Would have taken less time to just do it right the first time.

    pretty close to how you’d work with actual humans That has been my experience as well. It’s like working with humans who have extremely fast splinter skills, things they can rip through in 10 minutes that might take you days, weeks even. But then it also takes 5-10 minutes to do some things that you might accomplish in 20 seconds. And, like people, it’s not 100% reliable or accurate, so you need to use all those same processes we have developed to help people catch their mistakes.
