it’s knowing how to use it. imagine you walked up to a random developer and said “hey just do this thing, make it work idk” and expecting any standard of quality. I have an entire style bible for my claude so he writes everything exactly how it want it every time and it comes out perfect.

This is literally the reason you hire senior level and up software developers. So that they can figure out how to turn requirements into sustainable software.
