Claude Code (CC) feels great to use, because it just simply works. CC has been crafted with a fundamental understanding of what the LLM is good at and what it is terrible at. Its prompts and tools cover for the model's stupidity and help it shine in its wheelhouse. The control loop is extremely simple to follow and trivial to debug.
Edit is the most frequent tool, followed by Read and ToDoWrite
Claude Code choses architectural simplicity at every juncture – one main loop, simple search, simple todolist, etc. Resist the urge to over-engineer, build good harness for the model let it cook!
The difference in Claude Code's performance with and without claude.md is night and day.
If your coworkers are hopping between multiple agents, chewing on ideas, and running in the background during meetings, and you're not in on that action, then naturally you're just going to fall behind.
A model is either high safety, low safety, an oracle, or agentic. It's never both or all. Oracles are on the polar opposite of agentic. Oracles are suitable for summarisation tasks or require a high level of thinking.
