> LLMs continue to be better at coding

Faster definitely, but even with the latest Fable model "better" is often debatable and varies a lot based on what you care about. I can often rewrite what Claude did in 1/2 the lines or less to do the same thing while making it easier for humans to understand and maintain. Claude gives me a sculpture in a good rough starting shape, but it usually needs to be sculpted down at the end whether manually or by prompting Claude about the unnecessary bloat it generated.

You're right. But this can be fixed right now with a different harness, with more/better prompting, and will be fixed of course with newer models
