Over the past few days, I’ve been working on a client project and noticed something weird: I was moving slower than usual while using AI heavily. Not because Claude Code is bad. It’s obviously useful. But I found myself spending too much time waiting for it to finish, reviewing its changes, catching weird mistakes, fixing half right solutions, prompting it again, and sometimes undoing the whole thing anyway. At one point I just decided to turn it off for a bit and write the code myself. And honestly? Things started moving faster. There was also this weird feeling of satisfaction I hadn’t felt in a while. Like my brain was actually back in the driver’s seat instead of constantly supervising another “developer” that may or may not understand the project. Curious if anyone else has experienced this. Are you actually faster with Claude Code all day, or do you also hit a point where it’s better to just code manually? submitted by /u/Zafar_Kamal
