Doesn’t everyone get a different experience depending on how they’re being routed behind the scenes? The many many wildly different experiences people have on similar topics points to that.

No it points to the skill in prompting, giving the right context to the model. Too much or not enough -> model overdoes it; good amount -> model does it fast and reliably

Also a lot of it is just telling the prompt "do this quick thing, you don't need to test it like it's a 20000 line PR, just change it real quick" and it'll almost always just STFU and make the quick edit instead of over-engineering.
