A repeated trend is that Claude Code only gets 70-80% of the way, which is fine and something I wish was emphasized more by people pushing agents.

This bullet point is funny:

> Treat it like a slot machine

> Save your state before letting Claude work, let it run for 30 minutes, then either accept the result or start fresh rather than trying to wrestle with corrections. Starting over often has a higher success rate than trying to fix Claude's mistakes.

That's easy to say when the employee is not personally paying the massive amount of compute running Claude Code for a half-hour.
