> I will say, it’s not unusual for the initial output not to compile,

We’ve gone from “I’m baffled at your experience” to well yeah it often fails” in two sentences here…

It's not unusual for my initial output (as a programmer) not to compile either. I wouldn't say I "failed" if I can then get it to compile. Which as people are saying, is what happens with Claude Code and Opus, either automatically or at most when I say "get it to compile".
