I started using Claude about 3 months ago for a personal project and I was pleasantly surprised that it nudged me in the direction of test driven design. It wanted me to build my test cases first. And it was willing to do the heavy lifting on building those test cases and on doing the documentation. Also the output that it gave was first rate.
I truly believe that in the right environment Claude is a fantastic engineering assistant.

@cwebber@social.coop I'm also told that openai does not have the same model as Claude. Instead of being an engineering assistant what it does is assume you want it to do everything for you when you press the white do it button. And it just gives you the result without showing you any of the steps along the way. I am also told that the only comparable process overlay is by an open source product named Aider. Usually any successful model like anthropics would draw more competitors.
