Thank you for this honesty. I mean if i try something 5 times and its a total failure every time, I would never in a million years think to try it another 5. (maybe i will give it another try when home hardware capable of a coding model is anywhere near affordable)
I guess I see why the salesmen dont mention this... but it seems really important for everyone to know?
The scenario I described is still what I would consider "two shot" though—between attempts 1–10 I did not need to intervene.
But it's true that I'm always surprised when people talk about using Claude on the beach or whatever, I love Claude Code but I have to test and test and test again per each incremental feature.
