Coworker made a quite impressive refactor using Claude Code's Opus 4.6 (as in it was nice to see that it could create an abstract class, and two inheriting classes that resulted in nice code reusability), and nice manager-readable explanations... but:
We were doing this together, I was basically another agent telling him to push it further when he started refactoring, pushing for greater reuse... (time spent, but I considered it also a nice senior / medior interaction, learning him to set some higher goals)
During the review I found we were missing a lot of specs on the abstract class. (time waisted)
Reviewed the code, he tried using Claude again to add missing specs, some specs were added, but still missing. (time waisted)
Claude, or probably any prediction engine, is not better at copy pasting.
