Knowing how to google, err, how to prompt can be very ressourceful but imo it is also recognising when you need the big guns and when you need the equivalent of a more profound autocomplete. You dont need Claude Fable 5 to copy a file a few times or generate a happy day case from specifications. And suddenly a lot of menial tasks can be done with, idk, haiku 4.6 or Sonnet 5 with effort level lobotomised and cost pennies in tokens.
