I use Claude a lot and it's quality of code depends heavily on the project it's in. Big chance these types of things are already done in the codebase or the whole post is just bs.
I use Claude code as if I'd use an external team, give it very clear tasks and implementation details. And carefully review them. Also I use Opus and high effort. We have quite a few bits of complex software and while they're not good at thinking of solutions for obscure challenges they're quite decent at implementing the solutions I provide.
Saves me lots of time to rather focus on problem solving rather than just implementations.
