What's great
Thanks to the Claude Code team for building such a great product — it really makes a software engineer’s life easier. It is impressive. Once you clearly define the problem, it often delivers an almost perfect solution — sometimes even better — especially if you already have a few unit or integration tests in place. In most cases, with just a bit of debugging and some error context, it gets about an 85% approval rate from senior engineers.
What needs improvement
It still struggles a bit with frontend web code, but that’s mostly because frontend details are harder to describe precisely and harder to verify automatically.
vs Alternatives
almost perfect if you're clear about the solution. almost hand free once you describe the requirement clear. comparing to other , approve rate is much higher than others.
