Basically how I feel, but I use the low-powered API models like Sonnet. I feel more energized and focused on the bigger picture than getting stuck on stupid implementation of micro-problems.

I think the muscle memory of doing those tiny problems is good for our minds, but solving larger-scale issues is also challenging.

I'm on vacation right now and getting claude to build a mostly-throwaway e2e testing harness (admittedly not small-prompt-review-repeat) for a backend API to speed up our existing e2e test suites which do click-ops to set up tests 8-10 years ago, we had a team who spent 3-4 months every year maintaining our E2E suite and people would do rotations on there to spread the knowledge.

I basically want an industry standard practice implemented on my team of 4 devs who are too busy doing other things.
