alt Hacker NewsI think I use it differently. I still mainly stick to web UI.
I write a good prompt, paste the code then copy the output code and place it into my project.
So in the end I hand assemble and I only give it what it needs to know so no extra context wasted.
The human in the loop is of course the secret sauce but this way I am highly efficient, no vibecode and I work really fast too. Everything is audited.

This is how I worked with LLMs originally, and I much preferred it. This gave me a much better understanding of the code that I was adding. But, there's no way to keep up with my team like this anymore. It's just too slow when everyone else is working directly in Claude Code.

I like it but how much context does it need for a complex program? If you're giving instructions and using its code, I imagine context is being passed back up in an exponential way. If not, and you give it a very thin context every time, how do you manage to prompt it enough?
