As someone who uses Claude Code heavily, this is spot on.

LLMs are great, but I find the more I cede control to them, the longer it takes to actually ship the code.

I’ve found that the main benefit for me so far is the reduction of RSI symptoms, whereas the actual time savings are mostly over exaggerated (even if it feels faster in the moment).

I solved my RSI symptoms by keeping my arms warm all the time, while awake or asleep. Maybe that will work for you, too?

My issue is actually due to ulnar nerve compression related to a plate on my right clavicle.

Years of PT have enabled me to work quite effectively and minimize the flare ups :)
