An example from today: I have some scientific calculations that run in a Django app.
One specific endpoint has a function that takes 2-3 minutes to execute. When I was hitting the endpoint I was getting a timeout error. I asked Claude to fix it, and it came up with a huge change in the front end (polling) and backend (celery) to support asynchronous operations.
I instead increased the nginx timeout from 1 minute to 5 minutes. Problem solved without introducing 100x the complexity.
