Worth adding that sometimes I will spend an ~equivalent amount of time doing something in Claude Code, but the result is better.

Case in point recently I was working on a mobile app where I had to check for a whole litany of user permissions and present UI to the user if any particular permission was missing, including instructions on how to rectify it.

Super annoying to do manually, but Claude Code was not only able to exhaustively enumerate all possible combos of missing permissions, but also automatically create the UIs for each edge case. I reviewed all of it for accuracy, which took some time.

I probably would've missed some of the more obscure edge cases on my own.

Overall maybe not much faster than doing it myself, but I'm pretty sure the results were substantially better.
