I really love it for tasks that I wouldn't have bothered doing myself in the past. Janky automation scripts. Porting a protocol to another language. Mindless work like that.

I find myself regretting its use when I apply it too aggressively with my products.

It's definitely made me more productive for admin tasks and things that I wouldn't bother scripting if I had to write it myself. Having an LLM pump out busy work like that is definitely a game changer.

When I point it at my projects though, the outcomes are much less reliable and often quite frustrating.

Claude Code tries, and it seems to be OK at it. It's hard to tell though and it definitely feels like sometimes you absolutely have to quit out and start again.

Try using /clear instead of quitting. Doesn’t clear scrollback buffer but does clear context
