while still only being incrementally better than humans

That's only true in some extremely rare use cases.

    It's not better by default, at least for now. It's better at writing than most of the US's 5th grade adult reading comprehension levels. It's better at logo design than your average coder. It's not better than a trained craft person, but it's often faster. You do have to be really careful to either give it tools that can't fuck things up, or super carefull in reading what it's asking you if it can do.

    If you give Claude code a manual, it's shockingly adept at following instructions at speed. Take this license file from my email and update my perforce server. Use my Ansible in /projects/Ansible to connect to it.

    Can I read that file?
    Can I read that Ansible inventory?
    Can I run this Ansible command to find the install folder?
    Can I run this Ansible command to copy the file?
    Can I run this Ansible command to backup the existing file?
    Can I run this Ansible command to install the license?
    Can I run this Ansible command to verify the install worked?

    Done.

    It's not hard, but it's only once a year, and hell if I remember the ins and outs of 1:10000 tasks
