claude produces things that work and do the thing described in the prompt extremely well but they are always also wring in sone way

In the thread “Ask HN: How is AI-assisted coding going for you professionally?”
Helped: Rewriting docs, dependency updates, and catching review issues humans miss.
Got in the way: Production code generation due to lack of precise specs and hidden security/inconsistency bugs.
… well ob some tasks but for other I end up wasting time because I just don’t know up front how the feature must look so I cannot write a spec at the level of precision that claude needs and changing code manually is more efficient for this kind of discovery for me than dealing with large chunks of constantly changing code. And then there’s the fact that claude produces things that work and do the thing described in the prompt extremely well but they are always also wring in sone way. When I let AI build a large chunk of code and actually go through the code there’s always a mess somewhere that ai review doesn’t see because it looks completely plausible but contains some horrible security issue or complete inconsistency with the rest of the codebase or, you know, that custom yaml parser nobody asked for and that you don’t want your day …
