things just fall over when someone can't be arsed to do more than point claude at it and copy-paste the results to the PR

In the thread “Code per developer is up 40% since 2022; review capacity isn't”

Helped: Sandboxing and steering commentary to fix bad domain assumptions.

Got in the way: Copy-pasting results without review and bad assumptions about business domain.

… for Claude, so I can make the agent run a review before I take it to PR, so that at the very least, I can add commentary that steers Claude away from bad assumptions when it doesn't seem to understand the business domain, or how things are generally done. Tho, to be fair, it's also found some nifty edge cases in review, so there is some value there - things just fall over when someone can't be arsed to do more than point claude at it and copy-paste the results to the PR. And the people who were bad at review before (ask stupid questions, fight about stuff they don't understand) are just as annoying now, but they feel vindicated because they got Claude to do it, and they will take no responsibility for the time they waste (not that they ever did).
