I find that when using agents to build out my projects I find it increasingly more difficult to understand all the implementation at the same level I would normally understand it at when I would author it myself. During Sonnet4/Opus 3 days I felt I had a good cadence with being able to review and understand the code Claude wrote as if I wrote it but today I find that I can’t keep up with Fable or Opus 5. Wondering if anyone else feels the same and what you think the path forward is. Do we accept that we don’t have to review and deeply understand all the implementation like the old days, or do we have to slow down to the point where our review/understanding speed is the bottleneck? One thought is to treat it like having direct reports - you can’t understand absolutely everything they’re doing if you want them to scale you but at the same time I worry I’m losing my grasp. submitted by /u/super_zilla
