Do people actually use this mode? Having to approve diffs in the ide is too annoying.

Depends on my task. If it’s complex and my expectation is for Claude to get things wrong the diff preview is helpful.

  • Even then, I'd wait until it's had a chance to iterate and correct itself in a loop before I'd even consider looking at the output, or I end up babysitting it to prevent it from making mistakes it'd often recognise and fix itself if given the chance.

    • True. I’ve been strictly in the terminal for weeks and I have a stop hook which commits each iteration after successful rust compilation and frontend typechecks, then I have a small command line tool to quickly review last commit. It’s a pretty good flow!
