The difference for me recently

Write a lambda that takes an S3 PUT event and inserts the rows of a comma separated file into a Postgres database.

Naive implementation: download the file from s3 and do a bulk insert - it would have taken 20 minutes and what Claude did at first.

I had to tell it to use the AWS sql extension to Postgres that will load a file directly from S3 into a table. It took 20 seconds.

I treat coding agents like junior developers.
