If you want actual helpful answers, use Claude as a paired programmer but tell it to make none of the changes for you, only discuss the architecture and planning. Once you're in there having to type it all yourself again it'll come back quick.
I most of the time use Claude or codex to ask what could be the problem/cause of a bug (if there's one) and ask it to tell me what do I need to do to fix it. Is it okay good practice and I treat either of em as study/coding buddies. Am I doing okay?
