alt Hacker NewsThe search for speed is vain. Often Claude Code Opus 4.6, on hard enough problems, can do the impression of acting fast without really making progresses because of lack of focus on what matters.

I will always take more speed. My use of LLMs always comes back to doing something manually, from reviewing code to testing it to changing direction. The faster I can get the LLM part of the back-and-forth to complete, the more I can stay focused on my part.

I disagree. This is great for bulk tasks: renaming, finding and searching for things, etc
