> some of the individual changes it asks me to approve are too small for me to make a decision. There are cases where I almost denied a change initially, then realized Claude's approach made sense once I saw the full change set

Yes, I've adapted to just review quickly, then if it makes sense as part of the task, let it keep going until it's done with the whole thing. Most of the times, by the end it does the right thing

I love that it doesn't auto-commit everything, ala aider, so it's pretty painless to undo stuff

I also keep a TODO.md file with a plan of everything I want to do for the current ticket/PR. I tell CC to keep track of things there. CC takes stuff from there, breaks it down into its own subset of tasks and when finished I tell it to update the TODO.md with the progress. I also tell it to stage files and create commits

The way I use it, it feels like I'm still programming, but I don't need to write code or run commands by myself, nor get stuck googling stuff up. I can just tell CC to do almost anything for me. It takes away the tediousness of what I want to accomplish
