It's honestly harder - you have to do a lot of extra work to ensure your work is traceable. It's super fast in doing things you have no overview of - it makes pretty figures, it runs command line jobs etc. and I'm sure there are mistakes in there. For now I'm pretending Claude Science is an IDE, like Positron/VSCode, and I have to keep enforcing proper git usage etc. so I can reproduce this work
Edit: compared to my tools before, it generally uses the same tools in the same way, just 20x faster than me and I mostly struggle to keep up and verify what it's doing
