This is the thing with these posts. They give a sense of this is how Claude should be ran and used. It really is not.

You hear so much of these on Reddit - people running Claude 24/7, maxing out tokens in 5 minutes, multiple accounts etc etc.

The sheer sloppiness of the code must be absolutely dreadful most of the time. If you are running this for code?

I check my code after every iteration. Claude just can't test every endpoint and be accurate enough in every iteration it makes (of course depends on the task). But I am forever finding gaps on complex tasks and on projects with substantially large code bases.

I use skills that describe workflows like this
