Telling Claude to solve a problem and walking away isn't a problem you solved. You weren't in the loop. You didn't complete any side quests or do anything of note, you merely watched an AGI work.

Writing your Java code on an IDE, you just sat by while the interpreter do all the work of generating the byte code and corresponding assembly.

You merely watched the tools do the work.
