only a Sith deals in absolutes. There's a big difference in the strength of the connection from input to output between LLM edits and writing the code.

how so?

We switched from looking at an UI (claude webui) and waiting for code generation to using claude exclusivlie on the cli and claude doing a lot more stuff in the background with smaller prompts.

For me it changes in a way that i would like to have a 24/7 workspace vm setup outside of my work laptop for keeping it running if it wants and looking at it remotely if i want.

The workspace thing would also allow it to have more permissions like downloading, configuring and using headless chrome instead of highjacking my chrome session.

I think the tooling around the models themself has improved _a lot_ - they are really good at giving the models the correct context, even in big code bases

Many devs now work in YOLO mode letting LLMs automate their tasks.
