Ralph Wiggum-style agents are cheap cognitively, expensive token-wise.
Building software with Claude Code is possible, but you need to sit at the computer and guide it like a hyperactive child. AI models and coding agents without coaching, scolding and guidance will confidently go down paths you'd never choose if you were there to interject.
They will deliver a finished product. But it's the questions and decisions along the way that separate quality work from automated slop.
So sure if you have money to burn and want it to run som experiment while you do some real work maybe it's a cool idea. Eventually these tools will work brilliantly, once the masses do the testing for us.
But for now save your money and just do the work. You'll get far better results by staying present with your AI, not multitasking for the sake of clout.
