Yeah. Just like another engineer. When you tell another engineer to build you a feature, it's improbable they'll do it they way that you consider "right."

This sounds a lot like the old arguments around using compilers vs hand-writing asm. But now you can tell the LLM how you want to implement the changes you want. This will become more and more relevant as we try to maintain the code it generates.

But, for right now, another thing Claude's great at is answering questions about the codebase. It'll do the analysis and bring up reports for you. You can use that information to guide the instructions for changes, or just to help you be more productive.
