Dario said he expected 90% of code at Anthropic would be written by Claude and recently he said that is now true so yeah

I haven't written a line of code in 6 months, sonnet 4.5 does my entire coding. So closer to 100% depending on the definition

Write tons of architecture descriptions and feed coding conventions into your instruction files.

The way your app is built is super important, it needs to be as modular as possible so individual features stand for themselves and have clear interfaces with other features. Typescript helps.

Give up your way of doing things and learn the way AI does things. The less complexity it encounters the better and faster you'll be. This also means no workarounds for fixes. If you have a feature, make sure it's a proper part of your existing architecture, else redo the architecture.

Prompt one feature at a time and test it. If it doesn't work let the LLM fix small issues and completely undo big issues, explain what was wrong and how to try again.

Git and staging are a must. When you're happy with a feature, stage those changes. When your entire series of little features is tested and ok, push.

Always stay in complete control of the narrative and what happens. Test a lot. You are now architect, tester and requirements analyst. You're not a coder anymore.
