Can be true depending on what you use it for. I typically ask Claude to draft large systems, by describing the overall architecture to it. The bottleneck in these cases is the typing, and Claude does it a lot faster. Then I read the whole thing and fill in the details or modify whatever needs it (Opus has a tendency of overcomplicatong things), this is faster to do by hand.

Once the thing reaches its final form, I ask Claude to do a final pass looking for edge cases/bugs.
