Got in the way: Deleting code and simplifying logic.

When using Claude for production code in my core code base, I'm much more picky about _how_ it's written (as opposed to one-off or peripheral code that just needs to work). I find much of my work involves deleting Claude's code and simplifying its logic. (I'm still not sure I'm saving any time in the end vs writing such code from scratch.)
