I agree with your comment but I wanted to share something that gave me a good chuckle the other day. I had asked claude to write some unit tests that, after reviewing, were sound and actually uncovered a bug in the code-under-test that I had written. When I pointed this out, claude had decided that to make the unit test pass, it would not patch the bug but it would simply not exercise the failing unit test LOL! Good times.

But yeah, LLM are not good at defining requirements, architectures, or writing a spec to the requirements. They are good a contained, bite sized asks that don't have much implications outside the code it writes.



It has a strong preference to only change pieces of code you asked it to touch.
