I've been trying Claude Code with Sonnet 4.0 for a week or so now for Rust code but it feels really underwhelming (and expensive since it's via Bedrock right now). Everytime it's doing something it's missing half despite spending a lot of time planning at the beginning of the session. What am I missing?

Same. I have a very efficient workflow with Cursor Edit/Agent mode where it pretty much one-shots every change or feature I ask it to make. Working inside a CLI is painful, are people just letting Claude Code churn for 10-15 minutes and then reviewing the diff? Are people even reviewing the code?

This sort of asynchronous flow will become more and more mainstream. chatgpt.com/codex, Google's Jules and to a degree Claude Code (even though that's local) are all following that pattern: phrase a goal, send it off to the agent, review the diff and request changes, rinse and repeat until ready for PR review.

For me this only works for fairly tightly scoped tasks that aren't super complex, but it does work. And I think the days of staring down the IDE will be coming to a close for all but the most complex coding tasks in the future.

No because its boring. Thats why we don't have airplane pilots just watch the machine thats fully on autopilot.

Exact same experience. I have no clue what other people are doing. I was hunting for use cases where it could be used and it kept not working. I don't get it.

Is it only Rust that you've had this experience with or is it a general thing?

[bananapub]

it shouldn't be expensive - you can pay for Pro ($20/month) or Max ($100 or $200/month) to get what would cost >> $1000/month in API costs.

Can you use Claude Code with Pro? I was trying to figure this out and I thought you couldn't (unless you enter an API key and pay for tokens).

Yep i know but I have free AWS credits sooo
